There was no adverse criminal history information located on any of the three
principals of the corporation.
All three principals indicate they have had an interest in Elsie's Bowling Center

liquor license. According to the licensing division of the City of Minneapolis,
there have been no major problems associated with the operation of Elsie's.
One of the principals, Robert Tuttle, also indicates having an interest in the
Stardust Lanes located at 2520 - 26th Ave. So., also in Minneapolis. The
Stardust Lanes also has a liquor license.
According to records obtained from Minneapolis, there have been approximately
200 police calls to the, Stardust Lanes from January of 1998 to the present (see

.. the arrest of an intoxicated minor who claimed she had been drinking but
had not been asked for I. O. This was on 11/5/99
