Authorities

executed a search warrant on the home of The

Market co-owner Taylor Williams early Tuesday

evening.

Officers

were looking for evidence of counterfeit CDs at

the home, said Maj. Bruce Jordan of the Fayette

County Sheriff's Department.

Jordan

said some items were seized from Williams's home

on Shady Brook Walk near Fairburn, but he

declined to say what the items were. The search

was conducted by the Fayette County Sheriff's

Department and the Fayetteville Police

Department, Jordan added.

The

other co-owner of The Market, Clifford E.

Levingston, owns a home in the same subdivision

as Williams, but that residence appeared to be

empty, Jordan said. It is undetermined whether a

search warrant will be sought for Levingston's

residence, Jordan said.

"We're

not sure where he lives," Jordan added.

Williams

and Levingston are charged with one felony count

of reproducing previously recorded materials.

They also face misdemeanor charges of

contributing to the delinquency of a minor and

providing harmful materials to a minor relating

to the operation of the teen club.

Last

Friday, Superior Court Judge Paschal English

approved shutting The Market down with a

temporary protective order. The city of

Fayetteville filed the petition requesting The

Market be closed because its operation presented

a danger to local youths.

The

order will remain in effect until a full hearing

can be heard on the matter, Judge English said.

That

decision came after undercover video was played

in open court which depicted youths dancing in a

manner that appeared to be mimicking sexual

intercourse, the judge said.
