COPS HUNT LESBIAN SHOTTAS - Girls accused of shooting men in quarrel over women
Dwayne Mcleod, Staff Reporter
The rift between male patrons and lesbians who attend exotic strip clubs has taken another twist, investigations by THE WEEKEND STAR have revealed.
In September, THE WEEKEND STAR published a story titled 'Lesbians take over exotic clubs', which depicted the feelings of men who claimed that they were being forced to take a back seat as women are given all the attention at strip clubs.
Now, it has been found that some of these lesbians now have men in fear of their lives following several recent violent attacks at clubs, reportedly stemming from arguments over women, as well as other altercations.
Checks with the police have found at least three recent incidents in which alleged lesbians were involved in violent attacks with men while at these clubs.
Acting like cowboys
"Some of these girls are acting like cowboys," Detective Sergeant Carlton Urquhart of the Half-Way Tree police told THE WEEKEND STAR yesterday.
He revealed a recent incident during which a security guard from a popular strip club in Kingston was shot and injured following an altercation in which he was reportedly not involved. The police are in search of a woman known only as 'Candy' in connection with that shooting. The police say she is known to frequent exotic clubs in Kingston.
Police say on October 1 about 4:10 a.m., the security guard was shot and injured by a woman who left the club, returned and before pulling the trigger reportedly stated, "Hold dis fi yu fren."
In confirming that the police are aware of these violent lesbians, Detective Sergeant Urquhart noted that the police had nabbed another woman in connection with the incident, but had to release her after the victim informed them that she was not the person who had shot him. The police say the woman shares a name similar to Candy.
Similarly, the Constant Spring police is also on the hunt for another alleged lesbian who is suspected to be involved in the shooting of a man along Red Hills Road about two weeks ago. The man was reportedly shot several times by a woman who then drove off in a waiting motor car.
Police sources say they have not yet to establish an identity for the woman, but say statements collected thus far show that the shooting occurred shortly after an argument at another strip club in St. Andrew.
"On the night the man was shot and injured, he was said to have been involved in a squabble with a woman over another woman...We heard that a woman got in a rage after accusing him of trying to take her woman," a police source explained. He also spoke of a crew of women believed to lesbians who are said to come from a small community in St. Andrew.
According to the source, the girls are suspected to be involved in a number of violent incidents which took place in at least three well-known clubs. The incidents are said to have been sparked by arguments over women. These incidents are rarely reported, he however noted.
As a result of such incidents, some men have even admitted to putting their strip club visits on halt.
"Bway mi naw lie, di lesbian dem a get bad to worse...Dem dun a tek ova di go-go club dem wid dem nastiness, but it look like dem nuh satisfy, a badness dem a use now," an irate sounding Kirk Hewitt, who claims he has been attending strip clubs for a long time told THE WEEKEND STAR.
Another male patron, Kevin Spence added, "Since di lesbian dem start get famous mi did kinda ease off but go when mi feel like, now mi stop go, mi naw mek dem murda mi ova dem woman dem."
Exotic club operators chose to be tight-lipped on the matter but the police say they will be working towards ensuring safety by making regular checks at these venues. rjanet29@yahoo.com
