During a special meeting at City Hall, the council debated the wisdom of applying the city’s new adult business ordinance to coffee stands or any other businesses that engage in ‘adult sales practices.’

The meeting was scheduled in response to police reports of pole dancing and $5 ‘booty shakes’ offered at so-called sexpresso stands. There are four in Yakima and one in Union Gap.

Souza, a state legislator and former host of a police TV show called ‘Canal Livre,’ also was a drug trafficker, officials say. And to get rid of the competition — and drive up ratings — he would order that criminal rivals be killed and then would have his camera crews arrive first on the scene, authorities say.
