Officers spend $6,400 on lap dances, drinks
TAMPA, Fla. - Hillsborough County vice officers spent $6,400 for more than 90 lap dances, drinks and tips in an investigation into nudity and liquor law violations at an adult bikini bar that spanned more than two years, county records show.
"Sometimes that's what it takes to get rid of the problems - a lot of attention," Sheriff David Gee said of the investigation into Lil Tootsie's nightclub.
Gee said vice detectives first targeted the club, which features bikini-clad women available for private dance sessions, in February 2004 after deputies responded to numerous calls ranging from violence to DUI arrests, The Tampa Tribune reported.
Hillsborough bikini bars can serve alcohol as long as they don't allow nudity. Sheriff's detectives sought 41 misdemeanor nudity charges against 15 dancers at the club, but were unable to identify another 34 dancers, records show. Detectives bought seven lap dances from "Cherry" but never identified her, records show.
The agency recently asked county commissioners to revoke the club's special permit to serve alcohol. A vote is set for November.
The owner of the property, JEM-N-I Inc., is suing to stop the revocation process, saying the company was not given enough notice about the county hearing.

I didn't want to get those lap dances.
I'm a cop, it's my job.
