City Attorney Asks Court to Close Down Pink Diamonds Strip Club
Wed., Sep. 30 2009 @ 3:55PM
City Attorney Dennis Herrera filed a motion in San Francisco Superior Court today asking that Pink Diamonds, a notoriously violent strip club at 220 Jones Street in the Tenderloin, be shut down for repeated violations of the law.
Herrera’s petition, filed with Judge Peter J. Busch, asserts that the club has been the scene of prostitution, drug deals, illegal alcohol consumption, and noise violations since an injunction governing its operations was agreed to by Pink Diamonds operators in March. The city attorney has asked that the judge close the club and impose at least $689,000 in fines on its owners.
“With our motion today, we’re saying enough is enough — Pink Diamonds needs to be shut down before another life is lost,” Herrera said in a statement. “It is obvious that the operators of this nightclub have no interest in running a business within the parameters of the law, and it is equally obvious that this extraordinary step is necessary.”
