Tampa, Florida (AP) — County records show Hillsborough County officers spent more than $6,000 for 92 lap dances, drinks and tips in an investigation into nudity and liquor law violations at an adult bikini bar.
The investigation spanned more than two years.
Sheriff David Gee says sometimes that's what it takes to get rid of problems.
Gee says vice detectives first targeted Lil Tootsie's nightclub after deputies responded to numerous calls ranging from violence to DUI arrests.
The agency recently asked county commissioners to revoke the club's special permit to serve alcohol.
Records show sheriff's detectives sought 41 misdemeanor nudity charges against 15 dancers at the club, but were unable to identify another 34 dancers.

I'm going to guess that some of the officers in Hillsborough County have really enjoyed their work lately...

"...but were unable to identify another 34 dancers." That would require at least another $6,000.

That's not too bad. I keep remembering the guy in New York who ran up a quarter-mill tab at Scores.

His lap is probably very sore. As well as other body parts unmentioned.

Only $6,000 for 92 lap dances? Sounds pretty low brow.
