A Missouri man became irate this morning when asked to pay a $500 bar tab at a Lawrence strip club because, he told police, he already had spent $4,000 in tips paid to topless dancers.
Keith Hanford, 46, Chesterfield, Mo., allegedly punched a manager at PT's Showclub in the 7900 block of Pendleton Pike during a dispute over the amount of money he owed, according to a Lawrence Police Department report.
Police responded to the incident around 2 a.m. today, Officer Dan Rhoton said in the report.
The manager, Cory Best, suffered a contusion and laceration just below his right eye, Rhoton said. Hanford was arrested on preliminary charges of public intoxication, battery with injury and disorderly conduct. One of two men accompanying Hanford tried to dissuade police from arresting Hanford, the report states, and now faces a preliminary charge of public intoxication.
Hanford, who operates a business called Epic Iron and Salvage, told police he felt he was being robbed when managers demanded he pay the $500 bar tab, the report states.
