The city of Statesboro and our community are safer places today because the Platinum Lounge and the Primetime Lounge are closed. Thanks to actions by City Attorney Alvin Leaphart, the Statesboro Police Department, Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office and Superior Court Judge John R. Turner, Platinum, at 2 Proctor St. in downtown, and Primetime, at 608C Northside Drive W., were shuttered and padlocked Wednesday. Judge Turner signed a temporary restraining order requested by the city of Statesboro to close the places of business after years of violent and dangerous behavior at each.
Our View: Platinum, Primetime must remain closed
