Two incidents of bouncers brawling with customers earned a west side strip club a $2,000 fine from the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control.

One incident started when club staff kicked a 17-year-old boy out of the TD's West Showclub, 749 W. Miracle Mile. The boy and the bouncer were pushing and shouting at each other. The bouncer got a handgun from his car and told the boy he would shoot him if he didn't leave, according to a liquor department investigator's report.


The bouncer didn't have permission from management to have a gun or use it in his security job, the report says.

A few days later, the door security staff fought with a man they were escorting out of the club, according to another report.

Both incidents happened in February, and last month the state liquor department issued the fine for an underage person on premises, a disorderly employee, "repeated acts of violence" and "failure to protect the safety of patrons."
