Why would a man intentionally crash his truck into a strip club? Which of the following is the most likely theory? Hopefully, the authorities will discover and report on the motive.
A: Religious fanatic trying to save the dancers from a life of sin?
B: Jilted boyfriend of one of the dancers.
C: Customer who was overcharged or otherwise disrespected by one of the club employees
D: Customer who was mistakenly informed that the strip club had drive through service
E: None of the above, your theory??
The article says the driver was from Iron Mountain - that’s in the Upper Peninsula 8 hours from Kalamazoo. Long Drive.
It does seem pretty bizarre there were two incidents the same day.
I'm betting on option A, a religious fanatic.
There was a similar incident at a Detroit club earlier in the week (see Discussion for Tycoon's below). That suspect was not apprehended. It might be the same person who crashed in to the Kalamazoo club.
It has to be B or C.
Religious fanatic seems unlikely.
It could be someone who caught feelings for a dancer and didnt want her dancing anymore or at the club.
It could be her current or former husband/boyfriend.
It could be someone angry at the club for feeling scammed or ripped off.
According to the Detroit news story, the suspect pointed the car at Tycoons and secured the accelerator. He did this more than once because he didn't get enough speed and do any damage in the first attempt. As a result, he was not actually driving and he is still at large.

In contrast, the suspect in the Kalamazoo intentional crash was inside the vehicle when the car crashed through the wall of the strip club. He was apprehended by the police.
Update:
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — The man accused of driving his pickup truck into a Kalamazoo strip club confessed to investigators that he intentionally drove his truck into the strip club because he was upset at how one of the dancers were being treated, according to the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety (KDPS) police documents.
