Jackson, Mississippi- A Jackson adult video store is back open, one day after the mayor and police locked the doors.

The owner of the McDowell road adult video and bookstore was also arrested, and several items were taken as evidence.

Charles Hobby, says he has operated the bookstore for four years without any problems, so he was surprised when Mayor Frank Melton, and police showed up on his doorstep.

It started with a raid at an adult bookstore on Terry road the last week of July.

One arrest was made, sex toys were confiscated, and the store closed by the city.

Now Jackson Police and Mayor Frank Melton have set their sights on the adult bookstore on McDowell road.

Charles Hobby says, “We haven’t violated no law, he puts a key on the door and locks us up, then sends his people out last night and confiscates all my novelties.”

The wall where the sex toys were displayed is now empty, about ten grand worth, taken by police during Monday’s unscheduled visit by the mayor and several detectives.

Hobby, who was arrested, says for four years he’s operated quietly with a city permit, and within the law, even though state law says selling sex toys is illegal.

Hobby says, “We have got a license on the bulletin board right there the city issued us to do just that and thats the way we’ve been operating.”

We were taken on a tour of a the store, and into a back area with private booths, where customers can sit and watch videos.

Police say they found more violations there.

Jackson Mayor Frank Melton says he found two men involved in an inappropriate act, but managers here at the store say there was no one back here at the time.

Hobby says, “I just got done reviewing the tape and there was nobody in that room.”

Charles Hobby says the entire raid was captured by security cameras, and as far as he’s concerned he’s done nothing wrong.

Mayor Frank Melton declined to comment on camera Tuesday, but he did say he will continue to shut down the bookstore as long as they continue to operate.

Charles hobby says he’s hired a lawyer, and will fight to keep his business open.
