Hendricks v. Commonwealth of Kentucky

Opinion OF THE COURT BY JUSTICE WINTERSHEIMER This appeal is from a decision of the circuit court which affirmed a district court holding that Hendricks and Hellard were guilty of nude dancing in violation of a Newport city ordinance. Each defendant was sentenced to 30 days in jail and a fine of $100 which was conditionally discharged for a period of two years. The circuit and district courts determined that the Newport ordinance did not infringe on any constitutionally protected rights and was not vague or overbroad, nor an unreasonable exercise of police power.
