Update 8/10 - Nwatu was found Not Guilty on both assault charges today. According to one in-the-courtroom source, 'It did not help that both victims were - to put it politely - already hammered when Nwatu assaulted them.' Next up - A trial on the false paperwork charge, followed by a one-way trip back home to Nigeria.

It's been a few weeks since BD posted any news about Lost Society. And then boom, here it comes in buckets.

Our favorite deportee-to-be, Brightman Nwatu, is at this very moment sitting in a courtroom at the Crowley Courthouse, on trial for two counts of assault from incidents that took place in June 2009. When the crap hit the fan and he was arrested a few months ago, the outstanding warrants were among all the cases filed. According to DPD Incident Report 171388W, Nwatu is accused of violently ejecting a 52 year old woman out of Lost Society. And moments later, states DPD Incident Report 171385W, he hit another female in the eye, causing severe damage. And in two weeks, he'll be back in court on the charges of filing of false paperwork to the TABC.

The Dallas Police Department raided the Hotel Capri on Lowest Greenville early Saturday morning after two DPD officers were seriously injured in an accident caused by an intoxicated underage male driver.

According to DPD sources, two officers were on patrol not far from Lower Greenville when their squad car was t-boned by another vehicle around 11pm Friday evening. The female officer is reported to have a broken arm and collar bone. The male officer, a rookie who was driving the vehicle, suffered head injuries that caused blurry vision, possibly a concussion. During the investigation, the driver and his passenger were determined to be intoxicated and underage. They admitted to having partied at Hotel Capri (which BD can only surmise was confirmed in some way, such as credit card receipts).

BD been getting calls in the wee hours about activity taking place inside the former Whole Foods location on Lowest Greenville. One day, it's a van full of men and women in black suits going inside for hours. The next day, it's work vans parked by the doors secretly unloading really big boxes of god knows what.
