Private club says patrons mistreated by law enforcement; officers say that's not the case
Posted: 10/28/2010
DETROIT, Mich. (WXYZ) - The Coalition Against Police Brutality says a raid on a local club was unacceptable, vulgar and against the law.
The Beautiful Girls Private Club was raided by local law enforcement earlier this month. Investigators with the Wayne County Sheriff's Department tell Action News they got a tip that a 14-year-old girl was stripping. An undercover investigation revealed that marijuana and ecstasy were being sold. They also say officers were offered sex for money.
But the owners of the club says nothing illegal was taking place. They deny ever selling alcohol, drugs, or permitting prostitution.They say many patrons were searched by officers in an extremely vulgar manner during the raid.
The club says it is considering a lawsuit.
