Hudson Police have confiscated 52 pieces of merchandise and issued $12,480 worth of drug paraphernalia citations to the manager of The Hideaway, but a case currently pending in Hudson Municipal Court could render all the citations moot.
Hudson Police confiscated 52 pieces of merchandise and issued $12,480 worth of drug paraphernalia citations to the manager of The Hideaway on Monday afternoon. Shop owner Wael Sakallah has 52 citations coming his way as well, according to Hudson Police Chief Marty Jensen. "They were selling drug paraphernalia like Left of Center was," Jensen said. Local police conducted a similar operation at Left of Center, the downtown smoke shop, in May 2012. Municipal court proceedings began over two days last month on that case and are set to continue on Thursday.

No one was injured and only minor damage was reported after a small fire smoldered between an outer roof and sub-roof at Pier Five Hundred on Wednesday night.
Walnut Street was blocked off between First Street and Second Street for about a half hour Wednesday night as Hudson Fire crews quickly extinguished a small fire on the roof of Pier Five Hundred. It was business as usual inside the restaurant as the fire slowly burned through a layer of insulation between a metal outer roof and sub-roof underneath. There was no fire or smoke inside. "We're replacing all our heating and air conditioning so we're prepping the roof for all the new penetrations for all the new duct work that's going into the restaurant," said Pier Five Hundred Owner Andy Kron. "Earlier today the guys were grinding some metal on the roof and saw a small flame shoot down and start the insulation on fire." Kron said the workers …
