Stormy Daniels Arrested in Ohio. Avenatti Says Political Desperation. Officers Say Because She Grabbed Female Officer by the Face (with her breasts ....)
2018-07-12
Pictures, or it never happened!
Adult film actress Stormy Daniels was arrested in Columbus.
Her clothes could not be immediately found.
That's according to her attorney Michael Avenatti who tweeted the news early Thursday morning.
Knowing Mr. Avenatti, that's probably the only part of what he says about this that you can trust.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was performing at Sirens Adult Entertainment Club on Cleveland Avenue in north Columbus. According to an arrest report, Daniels began dancing around 11:30 Wednesday night. During her performance, officers in the club said they witnessed Daniels using her bare breasts to smack patrons. The officers also said they observed Daniels fondling the breasts of female patrons.
Observed? Perhaps the officers were lashed to a pole?
The report states that when the officers approached the stage, Daniels held the face of the female officer between her breasts.
Officer Mary Praither may have taken one for the city, but she is never going to hear the end of that.
It also says she did the same to a male officer. The report goes on to say Daniels fondled the buttocks and breasts of another officer. At that point, court documents state that a fourth officer exited the club to request assistance to make an arrest.
Because his priapism was getting in the way and would have made the whole thing awkward.
Daniels was arrested by Columbus Police and charged with three counts of "Illegally Operating Sexually Oriented Business - Employee Knowingly Touch Any Patron," according to online court records. She is scheduled to be arraigned in Franklin Municipal Court on Friday morning.
Bill Clinton has offered to defend her based on the definition of the word "Patron".
Police brought Daniels to the Jackson Pike Correctional Facility around 4:30 Thursday morning.
Her clothes were brough in around 5:30.
10TV's Angela An spoke with Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti, by phone on Thursday morning. He says her arrest is politically motivated.
Apparently politics isn't the same as it used to be.
"I have reason to believe it was politically motivated. There's no question these officers were undercover at that strip club. They knew my client would be performing there and I find this to be a complete waste of resources," Avenatti said. He tweeted Thursday morning that his client would be canceling her scheduled appearance.
I wonder how many other performers grab patrons' faces with their breasts. Of couse, there aren't many performers built like Stormy . . . .
Back in 2007, Ohio lawmakers passed the Community Defense Act. The law restricts the hours that sexually oriented businesses can operate. It also states that a patron cannot touch a nude or semi-nude dancer in a club anywhere on the premises or in the parking lot. When asked if he knew about the law, Avenatti said, "I'm aware of the law. I think it's a ridiculous use of resources."
Actually, the officers presence in this situation gives law enforcement a lot of leverage.
Daniels was released on a $6,000 bond on Thursday morning.
$6,000 and maybe grabbing the rest of the guys' faces with her breasts maybe?

#16  In Ohio you can’t touch the merchandise.

In this case it seems the merchandise was doing the touching.

#15  I guess the body cam footage got blurred when she leaned in.

#14  She should come forward and make a clean breast of things.

#13   She didn't just get sprung?

The local DA probably knew the judge would ask for a reenactment of the 'crime'.

#12  A shorter headline would be "Aging Attention Whore Whores for Attention". But I suppose people might think it was about John McCain.

Solid Silicon wouldn't be flexible enough to do that, Skidmark.

#6  I went to CWRU in Cleveland, a wide-open if rather lefty town. Ohio is the land of angry redhead bearded guy who said on video that the people killed in the Twin Towers "had it coming." Guvvener Kay-Sick. Need I say more?

#5  In Ohio you should not want to touch the merchandise, nor be touched by it.

#4  Yeah, Columbus definitely ain't no conservative hotbed.

#2  Didn't SCOTUS rule a long time ago that nude dancing, panhandling and flag burning are all free speech?
Posted by: M. Murcek   2018-07-12 11:46  

#1  Surprising.
This area of Ohio isn’t exactly conservative Meaning I doubt they were out to get her, more like she was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Additionally, it’s my understanding that most of the strip clubs know who the UC cops are.
