Memphis Strip Club Shut Down Temporarily

A Memphis strip club has been temporarily padlocked as a public nuisance. Shelby County District Attorney Bill Gibbons says officers of the West Tennessee Violent Crime and Drug Task Force and the Memphis Police Department closed and locked up Babes Show Club at 1375 East Brooks Road Tuesday night. A petition alleges that drugs were being sold at the club, as well as other violations. Authorities want to have the club declared a permanent nuisance to keep it shut down. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for May 28.
