Kansas City police arrested an exotic dancer early today after she allegedly stabbed another dancer during an argument at closing time.
The stabbing occurred about 2:45 a.m. at Baccala, 4704 Independence Ave., the former site of Gerryââ¬â¢s Silver Slipper. The suspect used an eyeliner wand or pencil in the attack, said Gary Majors, manager of the cityââ¬â¢s regulated industries division.
The 27-year-old victim suffered four wounds and was treated and released from a hospital. Police arrested the 29-year-old suspect. Detectives were planning to give the case file to prosecutors today for consideration of criminal charges.
Police said they donââ¬â¢t know exactly what prompted the argument, which did not occur onstage but rather in a back room as the women were changing clothes.
The club changed its name last year after a series of violent incidents, including a double homicide in the parking lot, a shooting involving a security guard and a fight outside involving 20 people, several of whom were stabbed. The city suspended the clubââ¬â¢s liquor license for 66 days last summer for multiple ordinance violations.
The newly named club opened sometime after Dec. 16 and its website describes it as, ââ¬ÅA cut above the rest. A laid back Hip Hop and R&B atmosphere (sic.)ââ¬Â The site also says: ââ¬ÅFrom batchular (sic) parties to birthday parties we can accomodate (sic) your needs.ââ¬Â
