Detroit police shut down Legendary Sting strip club over minors being allowed inside

DETROIT (FOX 2) - A Detroit strip club has been shut down by police in connection to reports of minors being admitted.

The backstory:

The closure of the Michigan Avenue establishment came Wednesday by Detroit police amid an investigation into the gentleman's club.  According to posted notices, it was closed due to illegal sale of alcohol to a minor.

Detroit police brought a warrant to the club today and seized surveillance equipment. Investigators say the youngest person that was inside Saturday night, was 14 years old.

"It would be permanently shutdown if it were up to Chief Bettison," said Chief Todd Bettison. "But that is soley not my decision. This is egregious what the owner did. What they did."

The closure notice was posted by the City of Detroit Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department. 

The Legendary Sting  allegedly allowed teens inside, when it is supposed to be 21 and over, only.

A Detroit woman told FOX 2 that her nieces and nephew were part of a group of teens that were admitted Saturday night.

Police were called that night and numerous underage customers were ushered out by officers, she said.

"Under 21, probably about 50 to 100, under 18, it was probably 25 - it was a lot of them," said Tania who streamed video to Facebook outside the club that night.
