25 Florida Strippers Nabbed

FEBRUARY 3--Florida investigators yesterday returned to the scene of the grind, arresting more than two dozen strippers in an undercover investigation.

According to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, the dancers were allegedly involved in a variety of criminal activities, including cocaine peddling, prostitution, lewdness, exposure of sexual organs, and the improper solicitation of alcohol sales.

The strippers, who were nabbed late last night and early this morning, worked at seven Tampa-area clubs: Lollipops; Calendar Girls; Vegas Showgirls; Brass Flamingo; Bare Assets; Foxy Lady; and Club Extasy. Last July, dancers at five of those clubs were arrested as part of a lunchtime sting operation.

At left you will find mug shots of 25 strippers arrested as part of the latest Pasco County probe, which involved undercover officers infiltrating the joints and, in some instances, receiving lap dances that, um, rubbed the cops the wrong way.

According to criminal complaints, of the 25 women arrested, 23 (or 92 percent) were inked, including one woman who had a "Daddy's Girl" tattoo on the back of one shoulder. (25 pages)

I like how number three is shooting the cops a double bird.
Bottom feeders. The cops, not the prostitutes. The cops can't spell either. Stupid pigs.
Everybody commenting here has the right attitude. I'm glad to see this.
I feel so much safer knowing that all those treacherous strippers are behind bars. Time for them to pay their debt to society. Our children will sleep more safely tonight. And, this obviously means that all the murderers, robbers, burglars, rapists, and dealers have been caught and the cops at last can take on the growing stripper menace. 2012 can't come soon enough.
Haggler, you are so right. In 2012 let's get rid of that Republican Governor, Republican Attorney General and Republican Pasco Country Sheriff. Damn Republicans, messing everything up for the rest of us.
Per capita, more Americans are behind bars than any country on Earth. Is it working? Does busting strippers give us a safer society? Or does it just waste tax money and help build a more bloated judicial system? We've got to focus our dwindling resources where they matter -- and it sure as h___ ain't strippers. By 2012, I meant the end of civilization, not the elections.
The local sheriffs office should be proud....they have meth labs out the ass and other assorted major felony cases they could be working but instead of dealing with that, they decided to allocate resources and pursue misdemeanor and minor felony cases. I'm sure there was a lot of high fives and backslapping going on while at the same time drug dealers were selling their product within sight of schools and city parks. Good job guys......,maybe next week you can crack down on senior citizens who drive their motorized wheelchairs without proper registration.....or possibly go use the tasers on some kids for being too loud in the city parks where the dealers lurk..... I suspect that there was something more going on here.....possibly some club owners were a tad late on their payments....
I agree with you. I also suspected these ladies were busted because their pimps or sponsors missed a graft payment to the pigs. Crooked cops. Meth dealers have more money to pay law enforcement to stay away, but prostitutes live hand to mouth. The irony of all this is that the cops making the rest have probably patronized these women at one time or another.
They get progressively uglier from #1 to #25.
Poor #6. She is crying and is cute too.
These be some fugly looking broads... now I know what $20 bucks get me...
Number 23 looks like a dude.
Exactly what I was thinking... man, that's a dude.
Did anyone besides me notice that "prostitution" is misspelled EVERY.SINGLE. TIME????
It appears the same neanderthal is the author of all the booking placards, as the handwriting is very similar. Obviously the deputy thinks the word is spelled "Prostition." However, in #13 one of his comrades appears to have told him the word has a "u" in it, but alas, on the verge of an epiphany, he fails yet again. It would seem that his semi-literate assistant either didn't know or forgot to mention the extra "t" when advising him of the missing "u." Giving it up as a bad job, he reverts to his old ways, and goes with what he feels must be correct: "Prostition" it shall remain.
I thought I was the only one that noticed...Cops are not that smart 90% of the time...Then I thought maybe they were trying to spell or abbreviate proposition...IDK
Quite a bit of it is misspelled. I have no idea how to "sale Aloholtic" either. Wow... I wonder if they can get the case dismissed because the cops couldn't spell the charge correctly.
Also, why is everything handwritten? Inefficiency at its finest.
Some of these photos go to show that there is beauty in the bottom of every beer glass.
