1/9/2018 Tonight! Arlington On Tap Opens 2018 with a Murderous Topic - Tuesday, 6:00pm January 9th at Mavericks Bar and Grill - @dtarlington Topic:Former Arlington Police Chief, Dr. Theron Bowman for the first time publicly recounts events leading up to the arrest and subsequent conviction of Flashdance Cabaret (Texas 360 and Randol Mill Road) owner Ryan Walker for a 2012 attempt to hire a pair of hitman to kill then-Mayor Robert Cluck and Dallas attorney Tom Brandt, who represented Arlington in a legal battle against Grant and his club. Bowman himself was also considered to be in danger. Bowman, who holds a doctorate in public administration, recently retired from the city as a deputy city manager. “I’ll take some memory pills and recollect events as much as possible,” joked Bowman. It was Bowman as police chief who had signed off on a lawsuit against Flashdancer, describing it as a nuisance property rife with drugs, prostitution, aggravated assaults and other crimes. In 2013 a federal judge sentenced Ryan to 10 years in prison, plus three additional years of parole. An earlier federal raid on Ryan’s Kennedale residence had resulted in seizure of 22 guns, bulletproof vests and nearly $150,000 in cash.
