Metropolitan Government of Nashville Davidson County, Tennesse v. Printer's Alley Theater, LLC d/b/a Brass Stables and Metropolitan Government of Nashville Davidson County v. C&A Entertainment, Inc. d/b/a/ Club Platinum

These consolidated appeals involve punishment for criminal contempt. The two defendants are businesses that were providing sexually oriented entertainment, as defined by the Nashville Metropolitan Code of Laws, without licenses. The businesses continued to provide sexually oriented entertainment in violation of injunctions forbidding such activity and later injunctions ordering the businesses to be closed. The businesses were held in contempt of court, and an individual who was a corporate officer or part owner of each business was sentenced to five days in jail in each case, to be served concurrently. The individual appeals, arguing that there was insufficient evidence to support a finding that he should be punished for contempt. We affirm.
