Injunction Halts Lady Fitness Profits Removal in Iowa
A Polk County District Court judge issued a temporary injunction blocking David Mead and Billy DeVasher from removing profits or advertising and soliciting memberships for health clubs in Iowa. The ruling bars using profits for anything beyond promised services and sets January 23 1981 for a receiver hearing. The case stems from alleged consumer fraud linked to Lady Fitness in Cedar Rapids and Sioux City.
