TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Six people are in custody Friday after Tucson police raided an east side strip club Thursday night.
Tucson police say that over 16 months, officers have responded to 85 calls at the club. The calls include two homicides,12 assaults, five liquor violations, and 16 narcotic drug violations.
An investigation by Tucson police and the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control found that employees were selling drugs at the club and that the drug activity was part of the increase in crime.
Police said that several charges included unlawful possession of narcotics for sale and lewd and lascivious acts.
The general manager of the Candy Store, Steve Garringer, told The Associated Press Friday the business is open and no indictments were filed against the club or its management.
