Pasco County, Florida - Fifteen Pasco County nude dancers have dates in court after a lunch-time roundup.
Lt. Robert Sullivan, Pasco County Sheriff's Office: ”Historically we've done these things late at night, but our intelligence indicated that they were quite busy around the lunch hour and that a lot was occurring.”
Undercover deputies made the arrests at five strip clubs along U.S. 19. The women were arrested on various charges including solicitation of a beverage, exposure of a sexual organ, and prostitution.
They are the first strip club arrests since April of 2003 when a Pasco judge tossed out charges against ten dancers because Florida law didn't allow an undercover deputy to be the so-called "offended party." That all changed this year with a new law supported by Pasco legislators and signed by Gov. Jeb Bush.
Lt. Robert Sullivan: ”With this new law, it opened the door for me to send undercover officers back in to investigate, and see if the law is being violated.”
Before arresting the women Thursday, the undercover deputies watched nude dancers on stage, bought some of them drinks, and received lap dances from others.

13 reminds me of Cameron Diaz in Feeling Minnesota.
Yeah, a good looking Diaz. Aside from the body, Cameron's a woofer.
1 out of 14...#13. The rest...I wouldn't with yours...
what a load of skanks L0L
But seriously folks, I'm here all week, tell your friends! Be sure to tip you servers!
The article says there were 15 strippers. You critiqued only 14. What say ye regarding Miss 15?
One of them will keep an eye out for you, though.
There's only 14 pictures.
ROFL!!!!
#12 - looks like she got hit already...
what's with the eye?
Wood eye...wood eye?
#11 looks like she has a cold sore on her lip? Oy yoy yoy...
Well! I am feeling so safe now! Thank God that Florida law enforcement is putting their efforts on Priority issues!
Why spend time hunting would-be Terrorists.....NO,let them train for flying a plane or loading up their shoes with amo. Why take police to hunt sexual predators? Or rapists? Or killers?
NOOOOO... let's just make sure we bust these strippers!
What a F'ng waste of my tax dollars! Instead of busting the strippers, if these cops want to troll the strip clubs, for God's sake at least look for terrorists on their last night out before another 9-11.
Yipes!
Soo funny!!!!
harelip?
Sorry...it is an old joke...
# 15 strippers arrested during lunch-time roundup

Hudson, Florida - Guiseppe Waldechone made very few pizza’s during Thursday's lunch hour.
He blames the raid on Lollipop’s Lounge where strippers were taken away to jail.
It was part of a sting operation where strippers from six Pasco County adult night clubs were arrested.
Guiseppe Waldechone, Gennaro’s Pizza:
“I think it was a little bit bad for my business to see all the cops over here.”
The businesses that surround Lollipop's at a Hudson strip mall say the strippers are good neighbors.
Guiseppe Waldechone, Gennaro’s Pizza:
“We all get along together. The girls are nice, and I don’t think the girls do anything wrong over there.”
Sheila Hunt, Owns Shop Near Lollipop’s:
“It’s a shame that anyone would want our taxpayer’s dollars to go for that. I think police should have better things to do with their time than to harass young girls trying to make a living.”
Of the 15 girls arrested, six were for prostitution -- and three of those six work at Lollipop's.
Guiseppe Waldechone, Gennaro’s Pizza:
“If there were drugs, stuff like that, I would understand. I would be the first one on camera to say 'OK, bye-bye. No, you can’t do that.'”
Guiseppe Waldechone says he doesn’t approve of prostitution either.
Despite the arrests of three girls who work next to him on prostitution charges, he doesn’t think it actually goes on at Lollipop’s.

When I was a young girl I worked as a secretary and never got arrested. In fact I know lots of young girls who never got arrested on the job. Come to think of it, I've only known one person who got arrested on her job and she was embezzling. Taking one's clothes off for money is a choice. None of these women were forced into that line of work.
Solicitation of a beverage?
I can't quite get my mind around this one.
