The Taboo strip club is facing the possibility of losing its adult entertainment license after police cited it for a number of code violations.
Arcadia Police Chief Robert Sanderson told the Pasadena Star News that a police investigation over a week ago found that none of the club’s dancers had a license to perform. All dancers must undergo a police background check in order to receive a license, Sanderson explained, noting that such a practice is meant to discourage prostitution.
The club also may have violated restrictions on how close dancers can be to custormers, Sanderson said.
The city said the club would be subject of an administrative review of its license due to police findings.
But club lawyer Roger Diamond denied the club has violated any municipal codes, claiming the latest police action is meant to harass its owners.
Sanderson said his department became involved in the case when the club’s dancers stopped coming in to renew their licenses.
