The Blotter is a look at some of the unusual things that happen on the crime beat in Bay County.
PANAMA CITY -- Many people leave gentleman’s clubs with way less money than they expected. For one man traveling through
His approach was simple enough. Two stacks of money, same pocket. One stack was single dollar bills, one stack was hundreds and twenties.
After a private dance he complained to management the stack of hundreds was gone. The dancer denied stealing it and removed her clothing to prove she didn’t have the money on her.
Re-enacting the events for management, the guy undid his pants, sat down where he received the private dance and proceeded to describe how the dance went. Why did you undo your pants, management asked. He told the guy he wasn’t supposed to do that. The guy appeared to be intoxicated so management asked him to come back the next day to continue the search for the money.
Management later told police he personally searched the dancer himself — surely, just to double check.
