THIEF WORKED WORKS
$500 Reward Offered For Information
Leading To Arrest And Conviction
(Indy) Works owner Stan Berg
offered a reward of $500 to anyone
who could provide information on
the whereabouts of one Doyle
Eugene Perry, formerly of 973
Grand Avenue in Cincinnati. The
reward offered is contingent upon
the arrest and conviction of
Perry.
Perry is accused by Berg Investment of stealing a company check
and of credit card fraud.
Perry was a Works employee until
he was fired on February 22nd
after Berg found that Perry had
been using someone else's credit
card to make charges at The Works.
Perry would write up a charge slip
for $25 or less, place it in the
cash register, and then take the
cash out of the cash register.
Berg found out that the credit
card Perry was using was on VISA'S
list of stolen/lost credit cards.
The credit card was that of a
customer of The Works. Perry was
caught only because he got greedy
and made seven charges to the same
card in three consecutive shifts
that he worked at The Works. No
other employee had taken a charge
from this customer.
Subsequent to that Berg discovered that Perry was in possession of an American Express Gold
Card as well as the driver's
license of another customer of The
Works who lived in Michigan.
Perry clipped the picture out of
his Tennessee driver's license and
placed it in that of the Michigan
driver's license and then relamin-
ated it. Perry then tried to
place thousands of dollars of
orders with mail order houses
including International Male,
Frederick's Of Hollywood, and
Touch Of Class Designs for
merchandise. He was not successful in receiving the merchandise
as the credit card was already on
the lost/stolen list.
Any other customers of The Works
who have had their credit cards
stolen in the last six months
should contact Stan Berg at The
Works at   (317)  547-9210.
Quite by accident, one day before Berg was to have gone on
vacation and only one day after
the firing of Perry, he discovered, with the help of Works employee Jack McCoy, that Perry's
sister, Jean Gordon Holley, of
Cincinnati, had helped Perry cash
an $1,800 Berg Investment Corporation check at the Cinco Credit
Union in Cincinnati where Holley
has an account. Berg never wrote
a check to Perry for $1,800. Upon
examination of the corporate check
book Berg discovered that one
check was missing. Berg placed a
stop payment on the check while
waiting for his flight to leave
the next morning. Ultimately
Perry's sister in Cincy had to pay
out of her pocket the $1,800 Cinco
had given Perry. According to

New 21 Club Nixed By Liquor Board
se Police Close G.G/s
(Indy) At its February 21 meeting the Marion County Liquor Board
denied the transfer of a liquor
license which would enable the 21
Club to open in its new location
at  2366 Lafayette Road.
The reason given for denial was
that there are already too many
liquor outlets on Lafayette Road.
According to the INDIANAPOLIS
NEWS, aside from the community
remonstrance orchestrated by City-
County Councilman Jeffrey L. Golc,
D-17th, an attorney for the
Department of Metropolitan Development also objected to the
transfer-
A. Douglas Stephens said his
department initially issued an
affidavit   for   zoning  under  the

belief that the location was within a zoning district that allowed
for a tavern with certain restrictions .
However, Stephens said, the affidavit was revoked on December
28, 1988, when he learned that the
building that would house the
tavern was within ten feet of a
residential   district.
He said this type of zoning
requires a distance of 100 feet
from a residential district.
However, according to 21 Club
owner Paul Eckert, the "Cowboys"
nightclub is right next door to
the proposed 21 Club location and
is just as close to the "residential  district."
Based on the affidavit which the
city issued and prior to its being
revoked, Eckert stated that he had
invested roughly $750,000 in the
new location.
Joseph F. Quill, attorney for
the applicant, filed an appeal of
the local board's decision with
the Indiana State Alcoholic
Beverage Commission   (ABC).
According to Paula LoPossa,
Hearing Judge and Executive Secretary of the ABC, the commission

(Indy) Ever since its inception
in spring of 1987, D&B Investments
(not incorporated) d/b/a G.G.'s
Restaurant, 4458 Allisonville
Road, has experienced serious
problems, both financial and
operational. These problems have
now come to a head.
At 7:00 p.m. on March 15th,
excise officers closed the establishment for failing to operate
with a liquor license.
Although the downstairs bar had
remained open, the restaurant area
had been closed for an indefinite
period for "renovation of the kitchen." This was brought about by
the fact that the Marion County
Health Department had made eleven
inspections of the premises since
May 1988 and found numerous violations in both structure and equipment (open rafters instead of a
ceiling in the kitchen as well as
unpainted walls and problems with
food preparation and preservation
equipment). This information was
provided to the NEW WOBKS NEWS by
Health Department spokesman Tom
Prendergast, who also said that
G.G.'s restaurant license expired
on March 1st. As of March 8th
there was no application in the
G.G.'s Bob Boyd
Health Department files for renewal of the license.
Not having a restaurant license
meant that alcohol could not be
served in the bar on Sundays, at
least not  legally.
There have also been rumors that
G.G.'s is having tax problems, but
