Equipment stolen from Detroit art gallery
DETROIT (AP) — Officials say thousands of dollars of equipment was stolen from an art gallery in Detroit’s Eastern Market area.
The Detroit Free Press reports the theft took place the weekend of May 10 at the Red Bull House of Art. Project Manager Karolina Biernacka says the theft, which was recorded by video surveillance, was a “major blow” to the gallery.
The House of Art launched in 2012 and also serves as a work space for artists. Biernacka says the man seen on surveillance had been in the gallery before.
Biernacka says no art was stolen, but the man nearly cleaned out the gallery’s tool shop. The gallery has since been able to replace stolen items.

State court sides with Planned Parenthood
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire Supreme Court has shut down efforts by a right-to-life organization to block Planned Parenthood of Northern New England’s license to dispense prescription drugs.
The three-judge panel ruled unanimously that New Hampshire Right to Life has no legal jurisdiction to challenge the license because the organization and its members have suffered no harm due to the license renewal.
NHRTL in 2012 filed a complaint with the state’s Board of Pharmacy saying that Planned Parenthood’s license to dispense drugs had expired in 2011.
In response, the board granted a temporary renewal and then voted to permanently renew the license for Planned Parenthood’s six clinics in September 2012. The board also rejected NHRTL’s challenge to the renewal.
The Supreme Court upheld the board’s actions.

Suit against stadium beer vendor revived
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana appeals court is allowing the family of a girl fatally struck by a drunken driver to go ahead with its lawsuit against the beer vendor at Indianapolis Colts games.
The court ruled that Lucas Oil Stadium vendor Centerplate can’t avoid the lawsuit by arguing that the beer was sold by an undetermined volunteer server.
The recent 3-0 ruling reverses a Marion County judge’s decision to dismiss the lawsuit.
The family of 12-year-old Tierra Rae Pierson sued Centerplate, claiming it negligently served alcohol to the driver who hit her along a street on the south side of Indianapolis after a 2010 Colts game.
Centerplate’s attorney tells The Indianapolis Star the company is considering an appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court.
