Wacko's was seeking damages for lost profits and other damages after a raid in March 2017.

The lawsuit said the fire marshal had no authority to inspect the business or order it to temporarily shut down based on a fire code violation.

The raid, which was dubbed Operation Whacking Wacko's, resulted in the arrests of three women. Two of the arrests were for drug charges, the other for prostitution.
