Well, now we know what happened<\/a> with the Shinders collapse:<\/p>\n

[Shinders owner] Weisberg, a lawyer by trade, was arrested in June 2006 after officers with the Anoka-Hennepin Drug Task Force pulled over his van. During the search, officers found methamphetamine, Ecstasy, a submachine gun, ammunition, a police scanner and other items, according to a police affidavit.<\/p>\n
His lawyer, Minneapolis attorney Joseph Friedberg, had sought to have Weisberg examined for his competency to stand trial. But a court-appointed psychologist evaluated him, and Hennepin County Judge H. Peter Albrecht ruled Monday he is competent.<\/p>\n
The brief hearing was conducted in the judge’s chambers and not in open court, a move the judge later said was an oversight.<\/p>\n
Asked about the ruling on his client after he left the courtroom, Friedberg remarked, “They’ve determined he’s more competent than his lawyer.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And<\/p>\n
…Anoka-Hennepin Drug Task Force stated that when the van was searched, officers found what they said was about 6.1 grams of methamphetamine, a quantity equivalent to six packets of artificial sweetener. They also found three tablets of methylenedioxymethamphetamine, more commonly known as Ecstasy, and two collapsible nightsticks, a police scanner, ammunition, a digital scale and “a case containing needles.”<\/p>\n
Behind the van’s front seat, they found a Kel-Tac .40-caliber submachine gun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
