The owner of an Orange County barber shop was arrested after Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation agents raided the business and said it was being used as a strip club.
Cops tell News 96.5 they found a 17-year-old girl stripping inside the business.
Super Fades barbershop sits along Pine Hills Road and is now closed after the overnight raid sent its owner, 42-year-old Derrick Dekeith Price, to jail.
MBI investigator Lt. Mike Gibson said over a period of months, undercover agents visited the barber shop by day and it quickly morphed into a liquor-selling strip club every Saturday night.
“On each and every occasion they were serving alcohol and they had strippers. And not strippers following local law, but strippers that went completely nude,” Gibson said.
Undercover agents said around 1:30 Sunday morning, they bought $20 worth of vodka at the business, where a 17-year-old was allegedly one of many women working there as a stripper.
“We had to speed up our investigation quite a bit to get the juvenile out, and in fact we did,” Gibson said.
They said they removed a stripper pole permanently installed in the middle of the shop.
“That would have been a piece of equipment that was there even when they operated during the day while they acted as a barber shop,” Gibson said.
Gibson said they expect to make more arrests.
Price is scheduled to be in court Monday.
