Georgia- John Cornetta, owner of a chain of adult video stores, fought Johns Creek authorities for two years to keep the Love Shack open in the heart of the city.

But Sunday morning, he called Johns Creek authorities to close his nightclub, Club Equity.

It seems the on-site managers refused to abide by the new closing time, which the City Council moved from 4:30 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 15. So Cornetta called Johns Creek’s finest.

“Johns Creek police were very helpful and supportive,” Cornetta said. “For once, they like me better than someone else.”

A club security guard, who is employed by Cornetta, called him about 2:21 a.m., and told him the club operators were not making patrons leave. Cornetta called the managers and told them to comply, but they didn’t. So he called the police, and asked them to escort the managers off the property.

“I fought enough fights to know when a fight’s not worth fighting,” Cornetta said. “As big a [expletive deleted] as I can be, I play by the rules. Sometimes I just have a disagreement with the interpretation of the law.”

He declined to say what the status of the club is going to be except to say he’s already paid his liquor license.
