Dockside Dolls was a North Carolina-based chain of strip clubs located in industrial zones.[1] It was co-owned by Winston Hines, Jerry Golding, and Jerry Reid.[2]
Graham, North Carolina
The Graham, North Carolina Dockside Dolls opened in 1993.[3] In 1994, six police officers, who moonlighted as security guards at the club, were suspended for three days after photos of them posing with topless dancers emerged.[4] On January 2, 2004, 45-year-old bouncer David Norman Collins was fatally shot outside the club after, according to witnesses, escorting the suspects in his murder out of the club over an altercation.[5] Due to crimes, such as assaults, brawls, drug overdoses, and underage drinking, allegedly occurring at the club since 1996, a year-long investigation was conducted, resulting in a civil nuisance suit and raid on September 3, 2004.[6] The investigation also led to the arrests of four dancers for offering undercover cops sex and drugs in exchange for money during a bachelor party at a nearby motel on August 31, 2004.[6] A court motion filed on January 27, 2005 alleged that dancers had continued to solicit prostitution during visits from undercover cops, violating a restraining order that prohibited the club from allowing criminal activity.[7] In February 2006, the club was permanently closed in exchange for avoiding trial.[8]
Southern Pines, North Carolina
The first club in the Dockside Dolls chain opened in Southern Pines, North Carolina in 1990.[9]
Wellford, South Carolina
On August 3, 2000, the Wellford, South Carolina Dockside Dolls opened at what was previously the location of Nikita’s Playroom.[9] The club was burned by an intentionally set fire on January 28, 2002.[10] In January 2003, the location reopened as a Penthouse Club.[11]
