Pink Pony South patrons being harassed

The owners of Forest Park's newest strip club say their patrons are being unlawfully harassed by the Clayton County Sheriff's Office.

On Monday, the owners of Pink Pony South said they are drafting a federal lawsuit against Sheriff Victor Hill.

The sheriff's office set up a road check on Frontage Road on Friday night — two days after the adult entertainment complex opened.

"They set up police blockades and searched our customers," said Aubrey T. Villines Jr., the club's attorney.

Villines said he complained to the Sheriff's Office, but got no response.

The deputies returned again Saturday. This time, they told Pink Pony management it was a random road check designed to catch drunk drivers, Villines said.

Villines argues the sheriff's department was targeting the club, since the patrols were set up on Frontage Road — a remote access road home to only a few industrial businesses and the club.

"You can't just put up a roadblock to drive someone out of business," he said. "It is not merely coincidence that they put a road check in during the same week an adult entertainment place opened. This is an area they don't even [routinely] patrol. This is not happenstance."

Pacman + strip club = Titan in trouble again

A woman is seeking an arrest warrant against suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, claiming he punched her at an Atlanta strip club.

Fulton County Magistrate Court officials said Tuesday that Wanda S. Jackson asked for the warrant after a Jan. 3 altercation at Body Tap Exclusive in Atlanta. Jackson, an attorney, says in her filing that she was in the club's office when an angry Jones accused managers of stealing his money and bracelet.

"I was sitting in the office and he lunged at me numerous times in an effort to do grave bodily harm," Jackson wrote in the warrant application filed Jan. 7. "Veronica Jones, an owner, went into the hall to deal with a member of his entourage. I followed to gawk. He was in the hall, surprisingly reached over or around a security guard and sucker punched me in my left eye."

Jackson told police the next day she was at the club because she was handling a divorce case that involved Adam Jones. No one could be reached Tuesday afternoon at the club's listed phone number.

Jackson did not immediately return a message requesting comment. Jones' attorney, Manny Arora, said no warrant has been issued against his client. The NFL plans to review Jones' status following the Pro Bowl. He had been suspended for 2007.

Young Jeezy Arrested at ATL Strip Club

An argument at a suburban Atlanta strip club netted a disorderly conduct charge for rapper Young Jeezy and some friends, authorities said.

The rapper, whose given name is Jay Jenkins, was arrested after the incident at Strokers Club in Clarkston, said DeKalb County police spokesman Michael Payne.

It happened Thursday around 3 a.m., Payne said.

"Evidently there was some type of altercation in the club, someone didn't want to leave," Payne said. "It turns out one of the people in the group was Jay Jenkins or Young Jeezy. Evidently he was there with his sister and some friends."

Payne said off-duty police officers from the nearby community of Pine Lake were handling security at the club, and called for backup from the county police.

He said Jenkins and two male friends were booked on disorderly conduct charges at the DeKalb jail and quickly released. He said Jenkins' sister was given a citation for disorderly conduct but was not booked at the jail.

"There was no physical confrontation. It was all verbal and basically being belligerent," Payne said.

Dekalb County authorities could not immediately provide the status of the charges.

A spokesman for Young Jeezy's distribution company, Corporate Thugz Entertainment, did not immediately return a call asking for comment. The rapper got his start in Macon and Atlanta.
