2 Milwaukee dancers charged in Minnesota strip club fight
Two exotic dancers from Milwaukee have been arrested after fighting with other dancers at a Minnesota strip club and then fleeing from police, according to a criminal complaint.
Ebony Angele Jordan, 23, and Bianca Alexandria Strayhorn, 26, both of Milwaukee, face multiple charges linked to a Thursday night brawl at Mettler’s Bar & Restaurant in Mankato. The charges include felony fleeing police, as well as misdemeanor assault, disorderly conduct and trespassing, Blue Earth County criminal complaints show.
Mankato police officers were called to a disturbance at Mettler’s shortly after 9 p.m. Thursday.
An officer responding to the scene tried to stop Jordan and Strayhorn from leaving in a vehicle, but he said the women ignored his repeated orders to stop the car and drove away. Another officer later stopped the car.
Employees told police that an argument between Jordan and Strayhorn and two other dancers at the club escalated to “pushing and shoving each other, which caught the attention of staff,” the complaints say.
“As they were near the front door after being ordered to leave, both girls turned and stated something to the effect of ‘if we’re going to be kicked out, we might as well make it worth it,’ ” according to the complaints.
Instead of leaving, Jordan and Strayhorn are accused of assaulting the other two dancers.
One of the other dancers said Jordan hit her in the face with a shoe with a stiletto heel, striking her just below one of her eyes with the heel. The other reported that Jordan grabbed her hair and pulled out part of her weave. They also said Strayhorn sprayed them with mace while Jordan was assaulting them, the complaints said.
One of the police officers noted that Jordan’s bag contained a large clear and pink pair of stiletto high heels, the complaints said.
Jordan told police that she pulled the hair of one of the other dancers, but said it was selfdefense. She denied hitting anyone with the shoes in her bag, the complaints say.
