Alleged Fort Hood Shooter Frequented Local Strip Club

The Army psychiatrist authorities say killed 13 people and wounded 29 others at the Fort Hood Army Base Thursday was a recent and frequent customer at a local strip club, employees of the club told FoxNews.com exclusively.

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan came into the Starz strip club not far from the base at least three times in the past month, the club's general manager, Matthew Jones, told FoxNews.com. Army investigators building their case against Hasan plan to interview Jones soon.

"The last time he was here, I remember checking his military ID at the door, and he paid his $15 cover and stayed for six or seven hours," Jones, 37, said.

Hasan's presence at the club paints a starkly different portrait of the alleged killer from that offered by his imam and family members, who have described him as a devout Muslim, and one who had difficulty finding a wife who would wear a head scarf and would pray five times a day.

Starz is a strip club located just down the road from the main gate entrance to the Fort Hood Base. It does not serve alcohol, but customers bring their own beer and liquor and buy ice buckets and mixers at the club.

Hasan sat at a table in the back corner of the club, to the left of the stage on which strippers dance around a pole, employees said.

Jennifer Jenner, who works at Starz using the stage name Paige, said Hasan bought a lap dance from her two nights in a row. She said he paid $50 for a dance lasting three songs in one of the club's private rooms on Oct. 29 and Oct. 30.

"I remembered his face because it was the first lap dance I [gave] to a customer..." she said.

Sure. If the Feds agree to pick up the cover, drinks, and “tips”, I’m in.

Well— They can’t be too impotent, or there wouldn’t be so many of them. Right?

Nothing out of place here.

>one who had difficulty finding a wife who would wear a head scarf and would pray five times a day.<

Well of course it would be difficult to find a wife like that if you only hang out in titty bars.

Doesn’t sound like he was too bright, does it?

a devout Muslim, and one who had difficulty finding a wife who would wear a head scarf and would pray five times a day.

Well sure. Those are hard to find at strip clubs.

I was actually hoping to see “the report”, I know there are rumors and stories, I would just like to know if they have been verified. This story raises some doubt about alcoholism.

[Repeat Offender]

I’m dreaming of 72 virgins dance.

Something tells me he wouldn't find them at a strip club. Something else tells me virgins wouldn't dance like that.
