Man Sought After Fight, Gunfire At Local Strip Club

MOUNT PLEASANT (KDKA) -- The glass and plastic sign in front of The Hideout Gentlemen's Club has seen better days, after a wild Sunday night.

It started when a man walked in and was confronted by the bouncer about a cover charge. He is seen on camera getting into an argument with the bouncer and refusing to pay. He is then seen trying to assault the bouncer.

That did not end well for the patron.

"The bouncer defends himself, striking the individual one time, and then the individual is helped up and ultimately escorted from the establishment," said Trooper Steve Limani.

That's when gunfire reportedly rang out.

"Subsequently that evening, whether it's related or not, we had a gunshot fired into that gentlemen's club," Limani said.

When troopers arrived the first time, they found nothing.

"A few hours later there's gunshots out side of that establishment. The sign is struck," Limani said.

The sign was destroyed. Not far away, two twelve gauge shot gun shells were seen on the ground.

Officials aren't sure if the incidents are related. But troopers say they're not ruling out the possiblity the individual in the video trying to rough up the wrong bouncer may know more about the gunshots.

"He made some threatening remarks to the bouncer that this isn't over yet," Limani said.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to contact police.
