Atlanta Strip Clubs: Council Committee Holds Eagle 8 Resolution, Trial Postponed
Posted on January 26th, 2010 in Atlanta strip clubs
It is possible that after hearing the community’s testimony that the solicitor and/or the prosecutor realized that the case against the Eagle 8 was weak, that community support for pursuing the charges was low or nonexistent, and that continuing to pursue the case opened up the City to additional liability.
“What you’re not [currently] being sued for are the eight employees that were arrested,” Kelley had told the Committee.
“The eight employees that were arrested, were arrested on a violation that nobody is clear on. We should’ve as far as we understand it, been written a citation and left alone,” Kelley said.
“There is no definition to anybody’s knowledge of what a go-go dancer is in the City limits of Atlanta. Strippers need a permit. There is no statement anywhere in the City ordinance to anybody’s knowledge that a go-go dancer who is not stripping, but just dancing, has to have a permit in order to dance,” Kelley said.
