A man displeased by a hired stripper reported a Christmas Eve robbery by her bodyguard, but ultimately declined to press charges, according to police.
Police apprehended a vehicle on El Toro Road about 1 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 24, occupied by the stripper and her bodyguard, who allegedly punched the resident and took $150 in cash after he rejected the stripper’s expected services for $300, Sgt. Louise Callus said.
The victim was disappointed that the stripper was not the woman portrayed in an advertisement and asked her to leave, Callus said.
When police transported the resident from the 600 block of Glenneyre Street to the stopped car, the stripper explained the $150 cancellation fee. “The parties were able to successfully negotiate terms which were satisfactory to all involved,” Callus said.
