Charges dropped in strip club killing
Murder charges were dropped against two men arrested last month in the killing of a strip club co-owner just east of Decatur, an attorney for one of the men said.
Joey Celestin and Bill Nichols were arrested after the Sept. 7 killing of Terry Stephenson, co-owner of Pin Up’s, a strip club on East Ponce de Leon Avenue. Stephenson was shot in the club parking lot carrying cash from Labor Day weekend on his way to the bank at about 1 p.m. The cash was stolen and the shooters fled.
Celestin and Nichols were to attend a bond hearing late last month, but Celestin’s lawyer Mike Jacobs said he introduced new evidence that led to their Sept. 30 release. Jacobs said he found a new witness who heard the gunshots from inside the club and looked at his computer and his BlackBerry, which showed the time was exactly 1 p.m.
