Man opens fire after Iowa strip club denies debit card for lap dance
2019-11-19
[NYPOST] A man in Iowa allegedly opened fire in a strip club parking lot after his debit card was declined for a private dance, a report said.

James Allen Wells, 67, was a patron at the Porsches Theater of the Arts strip club in Waterloo around 11 p.m. Friday when he got a lap dance and stiffed the club, according to the Courier.

After the card was declined, Wells stormed into the parking lot and pulled a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver from his waistband, firing off five rounds, the report said.

Multiple cars were struck, including the rear window of a Dodge Durango, the tailgate of a Chrysler Town and County, and the windshield of a Chevrolet Impala.

The gunman then fled and police attempted to pull him over for speeding ‐ but he refused to stop, leading to a short chase.

Wells eventually crashed his vehicle into a curb and was apprehended after a scuffle with cops. One of the officers injured a hand during the arrest.

Wells was charged with criminal mischief, reckless use of a firearm, assault on a peace officer and reckless driving.

Frisky old feller. Albeit rather young for a Democratic Party leader.
