Man drowned accidentally in river

The 27-year-old man whose body was recovered from the Mississippi River in St. Cloud a week ago died accidentally.
Preliminary autopsy results show that Aaron Moscatelli drowned. However, investigations into how he got into the river are still being carried out.

Moscatelli was last seen May 27, when he was reported to have told friends that he would swim across the river to return home.


Strip club nearing end of the line

The King's Inn strip club will have to close as a nude dancing establishment following the refusal of the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal challenging Benton County's zoning ordinances for adult businesses.

The decision by the U.S. Supreme Court follows a similar decision by the Minnesota Supreme Court. Benton County authorities allowed the club to remain open pending appeals against the county's 1994 zoning laws that established distances that adult businesses must be from residential areas.

King's Inn is located on Little Rock Lake. The club's owners, Kismet Investors, face another hurdle in their fight to remain open as Benton County lawmakers recently enacted a separate ordinance banning nudity in public places.

Kismet Investors owe the state for unpaid sales tax, interest and penalties.
