WICKSBURG: Today the building on Highway 84 West of Dothan, west of Highway 123 intersection in Wicksburg is being demolished.
The business known as Teaser’s, an adult etnertaiment business, strip bar is being torn down and debris burned in a controlled burn.
On August 9, 2012 a 33 year man by the name of Ryan Clark Peterson went into Teaser’s where he shot a killed three people. A fourth person was wounded.
After a 17 day trial before the Honorable Brad Mendhein in Houston County Circuit Court, a jury of 12 convicted Peterson and recomended the death penalty. Peterson is on death row at this time.
After a couple of years following the murder’s Teaser’s closed. It was attempted to open as a food business but the Houston County Commission attempted to block the opening.
Houston County passed a law years ago that a strip club could not be modified ( remodeled ), ownership transferred. The business had to remain the same as it was when the law was signed into existence.
So today, Teaser’s building is no more.
