Masked, Fully-Clothed Gunman Celebrates the 4th By Holding Up Strip Club

Instead of celebrating in traditional fashion with a barbecue, family gathering and fireworks, one man commemorated the birth of our nation by robbing a Lake City strip club at gunpoint on Friday.

Just before 10:30 AM on July 4th, the suspect approached the manager of Dreamgirls club as he was standing outside the business—which had not yet opened—in the 11300 block of Lake City Way.

The suspect pulled out a handgun and forced the manager to let him inside the business, where the suspect ordered the manager and a custodian to lay on the floor as he ripped phone lines out of the club’s walls and stole a large amount of cash.

The suspect—described as a white male wearing all black clothing, gloves, sunglasses and a bandanna over his face—then fled the scene in a blue or gray SUV.
