I just wanted an oil change and the winter tires off, but several dealership visits later, the wheel not just tire literally came off while I was driving over the Reserve Street bridge on Friday.
If I had taken this piece of shit vehicle on the highway earlier in the day, like I had originally planned, the wheel coming off could have killed me. Instead of dying in a fiery crash, I ended up in a curious conversation with a Chinese woman who spoke zero English because I wanted to let the business know my defunct automobile would be dealt with eventually, but it might take me a few days.
And the business? BZ Spa. The clumsy conversation consisted of the woman scrolling through her phone to find the number for the manager while I pondered silently to myself how unrelentingly weird my life has become. More accusations emerged in an alleged sex trafficking scheme as local officials work to untangle what apparently is a larger, international trafficking web with ties to Missoula. Last week, a felony attempted sex trafficking charge was filed against a third suspect, identified in court documents as Hui Wang , Bushey, 64, were each charged with a slate of felony human trafficking charges after Missoula sheriff deputies raided their massage parlor business near Blue Mountain Road.
Nearly a month later, Bao and Bushey have not entered pleas to the charges — their arraignment dates have been postponed several times because of court delays. Both are out of custody , having posted bond. From this information I went to the Montana Cadastral website and plugged in the mailing address to see what popped up. This is what popped up:. The more I thought about the geographic positioning of BZ Spa Reserve Street bridge area in relation to Soul Massage Buckhouse bridge area , the more I saw possible similarities, like how both massage parlors were in close proximity to homeless camps; Soul Massage was right near the original location of the Transitional Safe Outdoor Space TSOS , while BZ Spa is right near the former and illegal Reserve Street encampment no-go zone.
She asked the owner about taking over the lease on the parlor business for more money, according to charging documents. The driver was identified by authorities as Wang. Wang was arrested on the warrant. I wonder, will the focus of this emerging criminal conspiracy with international ties stay conveniently glued to the foreign names and nationalities of the accused? Zooming out from these unfolding local cases, an aggregate site I check regularly reports an increasing number of Russian and Chinese nationals are being caught at the souther border.
