Judge orders store to quit location

A judge gave the owner of Naughty But Nice 30 days to vacate the premises. Richard Osburn must shut down the adult novelty store at 1741 Mass. by Jan. 5.

Judge Michael Malone’s ruling came after an eviction hearing late Thursday afternoon in Douglas County District Court.

Bruce Banning, who owns the property, wanted Osburn out by the end of November after reportedly finding a new tenant for the building. Osburn argued he was not given notice until Nov. 7, which he said was not enough time to shut down his business.

Osburn said after the hearing that he’s looking at relocating the store to a property just outside the city limits. Osburn has been involved in litigation with the city for the past two and a half years. The store, in its current location, is in violation of a city ordinance that only allows adult-themed stores to be along a highway.
