See CARTER, Page 7 By MITCH STUART A controversial adult bookstore closed its doors voluntarily yesterday af- ter city police informed the management it was in violation of a court order. Two Ann Arbor police officers en- tered the Danish News Co. on North Fourth Ave. shortly before 4 p.m. and informed the lone employee there of the court order. The employee subsequen- tly telephoned the store's manager and was directed by him to close the shop. THE BOOKSTORE has been open regularly for more than one week, in apparent violation of a temporary in- junction issued by Washtenaw County Circuit Judge Henry Conlin. Conlin handed down the order on May 28 to keep the store closed while the issue of Danish News' alleged violation of a city zoning ordinance is decided in court. Yesterday's closing came in the wake of an amendment to the temporary in- junction made Wednesday by Conlin. The bookstore's management had claimed the injunction's language was ambiguous, unclear, and did not legally stop the store from operating. According to City Attorney Bruce Laidlaw, Conlin's amendment with- drew the bookstore's permit to operate, preventing the operation of business of any kind in the store's location. LAIDLAW SAID the usual enfor- cement agency for the Circuit Court is the sheriff's department, but said Conlin authorized the city to enforce his order.. "The judge said that we should go down and close it, and if we didn't close it we could go down and pick up some bench warrants for arrest," Mayor Louis Belcher said. Laidlaw said the police officers in- Daily staff writers Nick Katsare- las and Joshua Peck filed reports for this story. volved were authorized to "persuade" the management to close the store, but not to take any physical action, such as padlocking the establishment. DANISH NEWS attorney William Swor, reached at his Detroit office, said he was aware of Conlin's amendment to the order and had advised his clients to close the store. He said he is already working on an appeal for the amended injunction. Swor said the injunction's wording was previously ambiguous. But now that it is clear, he said, compliance with the order is essential. "You can't win a fight with the court. There's no need to fight the court," he said. Swor added he has had no response from the state Court of Appeals on his appeal of the original temporary injun- ction. LAIDLAW SAID yesterday that city officials will keep a close eye on the store and Conlin will be reached at home if necessary to close the bookstore if it reopens. The city attorney said he planned to ask Conlin yesterday to issue a contem- pt of court citation against the store's owner, but owner Terry Shoultes could not be located to be servedwith the or- der to appear in court. Conlin then said he would be willing to issue bench warrants to arrest em- ployees who were running the store un- til a hearing could be held. Laidlaw said he has set up a preliminary hearing date of July 2 to continue with the contempt proceedings. The opening of the bookstore has generated a great amount of citizen concern. A group of businesspeople from the Women's Crisis Center (located directly above the store), the Wildflour Bakery, and the People's Food Co-op (both located across the street) have retained three Ann Arbor attorneys to make sure their concerns are heard in the courtroom.
