Convicted felon Michael Morrison owns a string of sex shops in Atlanta called Nine and a Half Weeks. A tough guy and trained boxer, he owns boxing gyms.

Sources tell Luke that Morrison has had carnal relations with numerous porn stars including JR Carrington.

"Morrison has f--- some of the best looking girls in the porno scene," says a source. "Ask Farrah, he paid her plenty. I wonder why any of the porno girls don't speak up for him? He paid them great, treated them A1."

Luke: "Why did Michael Morrison punch you [at the January 1999 CES]?"

Stripper agent Lowell Smith: "I'm not sure since he would never actually say anything to me... I can only assume that he felt there was something that I said about him that he didn't particularly like. I used to do business with him and I probably mentioned the fact that most everybody who works for him is gay and that he also hangs them out with socially... Therefore we can draw the inference that he's gay. That, plus the fact that he was in prison for ten years for armed robbery... We all have an idea... We're not talking about a country club prison where I was... We're talking about a hardcore prison with murderers and things... And as a young good-looking boy, you can draw the inference. And I guess he did not particularly care for that..."

Luke: "I don't understand why he would take offence to that."

Smith: "He's such a scumbag that I don't take it back... My only response to Michael Morrison is that if he would only attempt to be a man and face me, we will have a rematch...

"Yes he knocked me out. He cold cocked me... I was walking down the aisle with a friend of mine and the next thing I know, they're scraping me off the floor. I didn't even see him. I could knock Mike Tyson out if he was just walking down the street with one of his friends and I jumped out of the alleyway and hit him square. Especially if I was a trained boxer."

Luke: "Did he get arrested?"

Lowell: "It was absolutely amazing. I tried to file a police report. I told them exactly where he was. I knew the hotel... And they wouldn't arrest him... They said, you have to come down and file a separate police report, even though I was filing one at the hospital... They took me there for precautionary measures. And they would not arrest him. They were going to wait until he left town and then they were going to give him a citation to appear in court... And if he didn't come, they were going to issue a bench warrant... They absolutely refused to arrest him, based on my complaint, while he was still in Las Vegas.

"I called him up and invited him, any time he wanted a rematch, to try actually facing me... And try that."

Los Angeles Times, 6/7/85

The father of one of two Tarzana youths who are charged with robbing an Encino savings and loan office himself served four years in federal prison for a 1963 Michigan bank robbery, a federal prosecutor said Thursday.

Allan Eugene Morrison, 50 -- whose son, Michael Scott Morrison, faces bank robbery charges -- was sentenced on Jan. 8, 1964, to 15 years in federal prison for bank robbery, according to Joel Shere, the U.S. attorney in Detroit.

The sophistication of the methods used in the Encino robbery led police to suspect that the two 16-year-olds were taught by an experienced criminal. However, two detectives working the case, Ed Pikor and Larry De Losh, said that there is no evidence of any involvement by the elder Morrison.

A Los Angeles area probation officer, who asked not to be named, said Allan Morrison "made a lot of money in pornography," but was a firm disciplinarian who wanted his children to have a middle-class upbringing and "do right."

The elder Morrison, owner of Wildcat Enterprises, a pornographic bookstore in Lennox, was arrested by Los Angeles County district attorney's investigators last Friday on suspicion of attempted extortion.

District attorney's spokesman Al Albergate said Allan Morrison allegedly threatened in a May 31 telephone conversation to kill an unnamed businessman who refused to pay him $1,750 on a $3,500 loan. The victim claimed that he already had paid Morrison $7,200 on the loan, the spokesman said. A decision has not yet been made on whether to charge Allan Morrison, who is free on $2,000 bail, Albergate said.

Michael Morrison, a Taft High School student, and a classmate, Mark Daniel Berman, were arrested May 30 on charges of holding up an Encino Savings & Loan Assn. office at 17507 Ventura Blvd.

On May 23, police allege, the two youths, dressed in masks and police-style uniforms, used a 38-caliber hand gun and an electric stun device to rob two tellers of $4,436. They were arrested in a stolen car after a police chase, and linked by evidence in the car to the bank robbery, Pikor said. Because the bank robbery case involving the elder Morrison occured more than 20 years ago, it would take several weeks to obtain details from federal archives in Detroit, Shere said. However, Detroit Free Press clippings from that era say that the senior Morrison confessed to robbing four suburban Detroit banks of a total of $7,000 between January and March, 1963, to pay for gambling lessons.

A Los Angeles area law enforcement official, who asked not to be named, said Morrison served his sentence at a federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind. Ernest Harris, deputy chief U.S. probation officer in Detroit, said Morrison was paroled in September, 1966, and came under the supervision of probation officials in Los Angeles the next year.

Detroit Free Press files also report a 1954 arrest of Allan Morrison for the 1953 armed robbery of a Detroit theater. According to the newspaper, Morrison told police he stole the $450 taken in the robbery to buy new clothes to "impress a girl." He pleaded innocent to the charges, but the disposition of the case is not known.

According to several of Michael Morrison's classmates, the youth bragged that his father was "in the Mafia" and had a lot of money. Young Morrison's claims of wealth were bolstered by his car, a Datsun 280ZX, the students said.

LA Times: The father of a Tarzana teen-ager charged with robbing an Encino savings and loan was ordered Friday to stand trial himself on three counts of loan sharking, one count of attempted extortion and one count of possessing cocaine.

Allan Eugene Morrison, 50, owner of Wildcat Enterprises, a pornographic bookstore in Lennox, was scheduled to be arraigned on the charges Oct. 11 in Los Angeles Superior Court. Morrison's son, Michael, 17, was arrested May 30 on suspicion of robbing a bank and stealing three cars at gunpoint.

Municipal Judge Edward L. Davenport, presiding over the senior Morrison's two-day preliminary hearing in downtown Los Angeles, listened as the prosecutor played a May 31 tape recording what prosecutors said was Morrison threatening to kill Tarzana businessman Gary D. Brown.

In the conversation, the voice also asked, "Do you have a Valley paper in front of you? Okay, you look on the front page today and you look at the bottom of the page . . . and it says two 16-year-old juveniles arrested for bank robbery . . . . Well, go get a paper for a quarter, 'cause one of those kids is my kid . . . ."

Teen-age bank robber Michael Scott Morrison, in an agreement with prosecutors, pleaded guilty Tuesday to forgery and agreed to drop an appeal of his robbery convictions.

Van Nuys Superior Court Judge Alan B. Haber ordered Morrison, 19, of Tarzana, to begin serving the five-year California Youth Authority sentence he received in July. Morrison pleaded guilty in June to the 1985 armed robberies of a Barclay's Bank branch in Tarzana and of a woman whose car was taken in the parking lot of a Woodland Hills fast-food restaurant.

Morrison's attorney, Roger Jon Diamond, and Deputy Dist. Atty. Robert P. Imerman praised the plea agreement.

Diamond said his client is trying to mend his ways. He said Morrison is enrolled in Los Angeles Valley College and plans to complete college in San Francisco. Morrison withdrew from a student-government campaign last spring at Los Angeles Pierce College after the student newspaper disclosed his criminal case. He withdrew from the school last fall after he was involved in a fight with his former campaign manager. A misdemeanor battery charge was filed against Morrison, but was later dismissed.

I talked to stripper agent Lowell Smith around 10AM.

We talked about Atlanta porner Michael Morrisson.

Lowell: "I talked to an ex partner of his who was happy to rat him out. Michael was a spoiled rich kid, a delinquent, who didn't have anything else to do with his time so they used rob houses...

"His mother died recently. She was holding on to the last of their three porno shops in California."

Luke: "His father served three years in federal prison for a 1963 Michigan bank robbery."

Lowell: "I guess it runs in the family, from generation to generation. That's Michael... Everybody can experience trouble in their lives. I had a little legal trouble too but mine was white collar, nothing like armed robbery. That's pretty drastic to rob places."

Luke: "He robbed a bank with a gun."

Lowell: "If you pull a gun on somebody you're just a little bit away from shooting them. And that's as bad a crime as there is.

"Maybe he will agreed to be interviewed if you see him in January at the CES. He was in prison for how long?"

Luke: "About five years."

Lowell: "That's why his partner said he didn't know if he was straight or gay. Imagine what happened during those years... Imagine a good looking kid in a prison that houses people for crimes commensurate with armed robbery. What I said [implying Michael was homosexual] was no stretch of the imagination. He can tell me how he feels if he wants to actually confront me and be a man."

Kayla writes: Just a quick comment on the Michael Morrison segment of your web site. He is a complete asshole and has many enemies. Mostly here in Atlanta. It's about time that someone let the truth be known.

Luke 11/4: I've phoned Michael Morrison several times for comment on Lowell Smith's comments. Thursday at 12:30 PM, Michael's secretary told me that Michael did not want to do an interview. He was too busy to get involved "in this silliness," and that he planned on filing a lawsuit against Lowell Smith.

XXX says: "Lowell Smith is going to get in trouble shooting his mouth off like that. Michael Morrisson is not a lightweight. Lowell has a suit against him for bopping him, a total sucker punch. Morrisson came up behind him. Believe me, Lowell has some guns on him and would fight in a second. That will be continued at CES."

Re: Michael Morrison

Dear Mr. Ford:

This office has been retained by Michael Morrison to seek relief for damages suffered by virtue of untrue and defamatory statements posted by you at your websites http://www.l-keford.com/stars/michael_morrison.htm. At this website, you published statements alleged made by Lois Smith, which are false and defamatory, i.e. that Mr. Morrison is a homosexual, causing him to be placed in false light in the public eye. The First Amendment of the Consitution of the United States of America protects freedom of expression; it does not protect defamatory statements which are published for the specific purpose of causing harm to an individual.

By this letter, demand is made upon you to publish a retraction of the defamatory statements made regarding Michael Morrison on your website on or about November, 8, 1999. Mr. Morrison is prepared to avail himself of all remedies available at law in order to seek relief in this matter.

Luke says: I do not have a clue whether or not Mr. Morrison is homosexual. And neither does Lowell Smith, who must be the "Lois" person referred to above by Morrison's incompetent attorney.

Luke talked by phone to Lowell Sunday afternoon.

Lowell: "I've never said Michael Morrison is a homosexual. I've said that Michael Morrison was in prison for many years and you may want to draw certain inferences from that plus the fact that all of his employees at one time were gay, but I've never said he was a homosexual.

"This letter is a bulls--- thing. There are no remedies... The only way he can win any money legally from you is to prove that it is untrue which is impossible. Even if he were totally straight, which he's not, how could he prove it? He's got money and lawyers on retainer...but this is totally absurd.

"Some of the people who used to work for him call me occassionally. 'Man, I read that thing on l-keford. I'm behind you. Anything you need..."

Luke: "Have you received a letter from Michael's attorney?"

Lowell: "No I haven't. I guess he's planning to punch me out again."

Luke: "I hope he doesn't punch me out."

Morrison cold cocked Lowell last January and knocked Lowell out cold, sending him to the hospital.

Lowell: "He might try to punch you out but it wouldn't be very good for his impending lawsuit against you.

"Believe me, I'm going to be looking over my shoulder at the CES. It would be nice if he would actually face me this time."

Luke: "What does he look like?"

Lowell: "Michael is tall, about 6'2". He's thin with a baby face. He looks 20-21 years old. He's a pretty boy with a pretty boy model face."

Luke: "Do you find him sexually attractive?"

Lowell: "Oh Luke, you're too much... I find one thing attractive about Michael... The visualization of being able to pound him into complete bloodied physical submission..."

Luke: "I think that when Alexander the Great conquered a territority, he would f--- its leader in front of thousands of people."

Lowell: "Don't read anything remotely into that. The only reason that I mention that he is a pretty boy is that it just confirms many people's sneaking suspicion about what Michael's sexual preferences are. Definitely keep me updated about Michael Morrison's battery of lawyers. I wonder if he met them in a bathhouse?

"It's too bad that so many of his former employees are scared to death of him or otherwise I'm sure they'd love to give you juicy tidbits about him. These people are just scared to death of him. They don't want their names mentioned and they don't want Michael to know where they are right now because he does apparently inspire that kind of fire in certain people. With me, I'm looking forward to seeing him. It would be nice to be able to look him in the eye."

Luke: "Why do these people fear him so much?"

Lowell: "He's very powerful in the Atlanta adult entertainment business and is perceived to be the type of person who threatens and is capable of inflicting physical harm on people. That's just a guess...

"I'm not afraid of him. He has absolutely no idea what he is dealing with. He just thinks that because he's taller than I am and because he boxes that I would be afraid of him. I happen to be an avid weight lifter. I've leg pressed over 700 pounds and bench pressed over 300. I can certainly take care of him. Of course, I would never be the aggressor because then his lawyers would be after me. I'd make sure there would be a lot of witnesses and make him physically attack me before I did anything."

Luke: "Maybe you would get a piece of his empire?"

Lowell: "If I were done right... And I certainly would get a big piece of his ass, and I don't mean sexually.

"When Mad Jack trashed Jenna Jameson, I hope he didn't mention my name. I was there but I didn't say anything. I thought she was pretty hot. What I may think about her lack of professionalism is one thing, but as far as being on stage... And I think Nikki Tyler was pretty hot too... And I don't book either of them.

"I thought Jenna looked fine. I would've jumped her in a second. I think she's more worried about people trashing her looks. I don't think she cares that people think she's the world's biggest flake. But when people start putting down the way she looks, that really upsets her. And I can understand that because that is her whole life. What else does she have aside from her looks? People don't hang around her because she is a great human being.

"I think Johnny Castano and Michael Morrison should get together... I introduced the two in Atlanta when we were all friendly and I don't think Michael gave him more than two seconds of his time."

Kayla Sands writes: I find it quite disturbing that you keep adding fuel to the fire. Michael Morrison is someone who craves attention. Regardless if it's good or bad. To print small comments that you receive from certain ex-employees shouldn't be taken seriously either. They are just as obsessed with the drama created around Morrison as he is. Michael is a self obsessed individual who wants to project a bad image. Well, as long as people keep printing pointless statements about a man that no one really cares about he wins. And regardless of what happens at CES this year everyone already knows that the egos of both individuals, Morrison and Smith, have been bruised. So they will probably handle it the way that everyone is expecting. And for Morrison to say that he doesn't want to contribute to the silliness of this whole thing, he actually is.
