Houston police said Friday that five Lorimar-Telepictures TV executives were arrested Thursday night after they touched nude dancers who are forbidden by Texas law to consort physically with customers. In Houston to attend the National Assn. of Television Program Executives syndicated TV marketplace, the unidentified quintet were arrested by undercover police at Rick’s Restaurant and Bar in Houston, said the establishment’s general manager, Bob Furey. “The cops stopped the music and turned up the lights, then arrested these guys,” Furey said. “It was a lousy deal. They were mistreated.” The Lorimar executives, who were later released, were unavailable for comment.
