Summary:[Tshombe Knight] goes to work each day at 6 a.m., riding with a delivery truck driver to help load soda. From there, he goes to his second job as a bouncer at an exotic dance club on the northwest side. Most weeks, he works more than 90 hours, he said. Knight and [Judie Triggs] drove to a meeting with reporters at the club in a rusty 1985 Pontiac he bought this fall for $350. On May 30, 2001, Knight was back in court for sentencing, but in the meantime, he had been hit with another driving after revocation charge. As a result, the prosecutor told Knight that her earlier sentencing recommendation was off. Knight told her he wanted an attorney. Without further questioning, the judge appointed an attorney for Knight in both cases. Knight already had pleaded guilty in the first case and soon pleaded no contest to the second while represented by a lawyer. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail for each charge with time off for work.
