Stripper and friends arrested, charged with robbing, threatening man

A Cafe Risque patron asked a stripper named Angel to come back to his hotel Thursday night. She brought three people with her, and those people brought weapons.

Jonathan D. Mieras, 45, of Wellborn, was robbed, threatened with a shotgun and shocked with a stun gun, according to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.




The suspects — Candace L. Allen, 27; Michael C. Angelo, 26; Adrene L. Foreman, 20; and Michael S. Williams, 20 — were charged with kidnapping, home invasion with a firearm and two counts of grand theft.

A Sheriff's Office arrest report gave this account:

Allen, whose stage name is Angel, made plans with Mieras on Thursday afternoon while she was working at Cafe Risque, a Micanopy strip club famous for its red-and-yellow “We Bare All” billboards. The two had never met before Thursday, Mieras said, but Allen told him she would swing by his hotel room after she got off work.

She arrived at Room 224 at the Micanopy Inn at about 10 p.m. Thursday but soon walked away, telling Mieras she would be back in a minute. She left the door open. Then, Angelo, Foreman and Williams walked into the room.

Angelo carried a black shotgun. He told Mieras to get on the floor. He told him he might kill him.

When Mieras tried to wrestle the shotgun from Angelo, one of the other two alleged robbers shocked Mieras with a stun gun. Mieras said he was shocked between 12 and 14 times, and his head is bruised from getting hit by the butt of the shotgun.

The three suspected robbers then tied him up with ripped towels and stole a duffle bag, a wallet, an electric razor, a credit card, three months' worth of pain-relief pills, an iPhone 4, $1,500 and a Tec-9 pistol with 12 bullets.

“I'm very embarrassed,” Mieras said.

After talking with other Cafe Risque employees, Sheriff's Office detectives found out that Allen was living at the Motel 6 on Southwest 40th Boulevard in Gainesville. Detectives went there and arrested Allen, Angelo and Williams.

While deputies searched the hotel room for evidence — they found a shotgun next to one of the beds — Foreman showed up. They arrested her, too.

All four suspects remained at the Alachua County Jail on bail ranging from $60,000 (Foreman) to about $1.3 million (Angelo). The general manager of Cafe Risque said Sunday that Allen was “absolutely not” working at the strip club anymore.

“It was quite a scuffle,” Mieras said Sunday afternoon. “I lost the battle, but they lost the war.”

"After talking with other Cafe Risque employees, Sheriff’s Office detectives found out that Allen was living at the Motel 6 on Southwest 40th Boulevard in Gainesville."

I've heard of stupid robbers before. Like the guy who robbed a bank wearing his high school letter jacket with his name on the back. Or the one who wrote his stickup note on the back of a card that had his name and address, then left it behind. But seriously, how stupid can one person possibly be?

They were probably trying to score drug money. Junkies don't gameplan all that well.
In any event, a prostitute leaving, saying I'll be right back and leaving the door open would be a huge, gigantic, supersized red flag you would think.

I second Tony, and wonder why he didn't grab the TEC-9 when she left the door open? These numbnuts assume that a customer won't report anything when they go in and rob somebody. I'm glad this guy did. Dancers ought to know that this is the kind of crap that causes guys to be very wary about setting up OTC. Girls, if you want that extra stream of income, you should do everything you can to allay any fears of the guy that this type of scene could happen. (Ha, I'm sure that the three girls out there that read this site agree, while the pink site girls all laugh that this dumb MF deserved to get visited by shotgun and taser dudes.)

Poor bastard. Getting shocked 12 to 14 times with a stun gun and still able to continue the fight. What a man.

(Oh by the way, the 3 months supply of pills was Viagra.) A strip club "drug" deal gone bad.
