State might strip Carson bar's alcohol license because of illegal nude dancing
This is "Carla" and she's had better evenings. Deputies and state Alcoholic Beverage Control officials cited her for alleged lewd conduct on Thursday night during a raid at the La Consentida bar in Carson.
Investigators say they've been watching the bar for some time and Carla often takes off her
clothes and dances nude for the patrons. That's against the law unless the owners have a license to run a strip joint.
Besides that, police allege that the bar allowed another woman, a so-called "B-girl," to entice customers to buy drinks for her. She'd cozy up to men and make them think she liked them and get them to buy drinks. She'd get a cut of the take.
That's also illegal. (She was fortunate enough not to be there when the police rolled in.)
The owners of the bar on Alameda Street could now face fines and the revocation of their license to sell alcohol.
Photographer Scott Varley and I joined Carson deputies and ABC agents for the raid. Look for my story and Scott's photos coming Saturday to dailybreeze.com and the print edition.

It's a really good thing that our government is protecting us from this horrendous evil.
While I reflect upon my overflowing retirement account, my confidence in American justice and equality and renewed hope in America's commitment to freedom and liberty, I will scorn this whore's blatant attempt to show her mammary glands in this time of great trial and tribulation.
I, for one, am glad that we finally have our priorities straight and that we bring to light those who dare seek a handout for illegitimate acts in our society.
Thank you Carson and the United States of America. I will sleep well tonight.
You are one moron of a dipshit
Wombat must be a patron.
Hey, i love Wombat's Colberesque jibe. (Sorry to use big words Me, no offense to the idiot class)
I think people who use one sentence retorts should be banned from participation in conversation. What's your problem with the post? Just saying somethign stupid doesn't help anybody. And maybe Wombat is a patron, good for him, he's having fun, not home sucking on a lemon like you two
