Woman pulled gun on Dallas strip club's guard after finding husband inside.

Police have arrested a woman after they say she pointed a handgun at a security guard outside a northwest Dallas strip club.
Melissa Enit Alvarado, 22, went to Pandora's Men's Club in the 10600 block of Harry Hines Boulevard around 3:30 a.m. Saturday and found her husband inside, according to an arrest-warrant affidavit. She then left the club and walked across the street to a car, a security guard told police.
The guard, who was wearing a uniform and badge, said Alvarado retrieved a handgun from the car and started walking back toward the club. The guard took cover behind a vehicle and yelled at Alvarado to drop the weapon.
Alvarado responded by pointing the gun at the guard and cocking it, according to the affidavit.

She eventually put her hands behind her back and the guard pepper-sprayed her, then put her in handcuffs.
Alvarado was booked into the Dallas County Jail on charges of aggravated assault against a security officer and unlawful carrying of a weapon. She has since posted bond.
