Dumb Criminals: Virginia Woman Ran Illegal Strip Club Out Of Home, Busted For Cheap Drinks
Two people were charged earlier this month in connection with an illegal strip club police believe was operating out of a downtown home.
Sonya F. Fletcher, 36, and Jeffrey F. Pope, 43, were charged with maintaining a common nuisance. Fletcher also was charged with marijuana possession. All are misdemeanors punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of $2,500.
Pope was killed Sunday when his car struck a tree on Hosier Road.
Fletcher's attorney did not return a voicemail and two emails seeking comment.
Diana Klink, a city spokeswoman, declined to comment on the case, saying it is still under investigation.
According to a search warrant affidavit filed in Circuit Court, the charges stem from a monthlong investigation into several suspected "stripper parties" last month in the 600 block of Battery Ave.
