Jamestown, CA…From the Tuolumne Sheriff’s Dept…”An undercover investigation culminating in a search warrant went forward today at Rosalinda’s Gentlemen’s Club located in Jamestown. Agents of the Tuolumne Narcotics Team (TNT) with assistance of the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), TCSO SWAT, TCSO General Detectives, Tuolumne County Probation, Child Welfare Services, and Tuolumne County Code Enforcement are assisting in the investigation of the establishment.
The Operation was jointly launched by TNT and ABC in late 2017, after meeting together to discuss the host of calls for service, complaints, and violations that have taken place at the establishment over the years.
In 2017 alone, Rosalinda’s Gentlemen’s Club generated over 50 calls for service that required a response from the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office. In the last five years, the club has generated almost 200 calls for service, many serious in nature such as the 2015 stabbing of one dancer by another at the establishment, and the recent rape investigation that was reported in November of 2017. Everything from assaults to sexual assaults, to code violations and thefts have been reported at this location over the years.
The search warrant was generated after several months of investigation into the Jamestown strip club in which illegal alcohol violations, California Code of Regulations violations, narcotics, and prostitution were investigated. During the investigation, narcotics were purchased on multiple occasions and prostitution was solicited from at least one exotic dancer employed at the club. Multiple ABC violations were also observed nightly by the undercover detectives.
Please be aware there will be emergency vehicles in that area for several hours while the search warrant is being executed. More information will be released as the investigation continues.”
