Strip Club Padlocked for Violating Regulations

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The doors of a popular strip club here have been issued a padlocking by a Nashville judge.

Police told the Tennessean that Club Platinum, a strip club located downtown on Hayes St. will have its doors shut this afternoon.

“Davidson County General Sessions Judge Gloria Dumas issued the order after finding that the club had failed to comply with Metro laws that regulate sexually oriented businesses,” Don Aaron, Metro police spokesman, told the report. Aaron would not go into the specific violations of local ordinances.

Ordinances in the state have included a ban on lap dancing, height requirements on stages and strict closure times.

“Metro police will place the padlock on the business at 2 p.m. today,” Aaron said.
