Reports: Brooklyn man suspected of rape arrested at Beauty Bar on 14th Street
According to Town & Village, "police said that Maughn-Tulloch was ... doing lines of cocaine with a woman when he allegedly raped her."
Here are more details via DNAinfo:
While they were in the bathroom he made a move on the woman, but when she refused he pinned her against the wall, pulled down her pants, and raped her, police said.
Afterwards, Maughn-Tulloch remained inside the bar as the woman called police, they said. Police arrested him at the bar 45 minutes later, a police spokesman said.
The 30-year-old Maughn-Tulloch was arraigned on charges of first-degree rape. He’s currently being held at Rikers. His next court date is scheduled for Friday, per DNAinfo.
The Post reported that Maughn-Tulloch was already facing charges for drug possession and credit-card fraud.

Report: Mobile-order congestion causing problems for Starbucks
A little weekend reading... in case you didn't see the Starbucks headlines from yesterday.
Via USA Today:
The coffee chain reported disappointing sales growth on Thursday and partly blamed the “congestion” in its stores for prompting some people to leave without buying anything. Starbucks said the popularity of its mobile order-and-pay option, which was supposed to make getting a drink easier, has caused bottlenecks at the areas where people pick up their drinks.
CEO Howard Schultz, who is leaving that role in April to become executive chairman, said the issue has “created anxiety” among some customers.
No word on the number of people who just enter and exit a Starbucks to use the restrooms.
