CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Three Cleveland police officers, one of whom was involved in the November pursuit and deadly shooting of two suspects in East Cleveland, were patronizing a local strip club early Friday morning when police received reports of gunfire at the location.
Detective Christopher Ereg and patrolmen Charles Schultz and Jon Periandri were off duty at the Crazy Horse near the corner of St. Clair Avenue and East 13th Street when police responded to calls that shots had been fired just before 3 a.m.

Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association President Jeffery Follmer confirmed the officers' identities Monday but said he is still learning the facts and does not know what, if any, role the officers played.

In a written statement, Cleveland police spokesman, Sgt. Sammy Morris, said that a man was arrested for disorderly conduct and intoxication at the location. He said a preliminary investigation found that there was no gunfire inside the Crazy Horse. But it is yet to be determined whether shots were fired outside and whether the officers were involved. He added that the police's Integrity Control Section, which handles accusations of police misconduct, is investigating the incident.
