Graham, North Carolina
The Graham, North Carolina Dockside Dolls opened in 1993.[7] 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.[8] 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.[9] 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.[10] 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.[10] 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.[11] In February 2006, the club was permanently closed in exchange for avoiding trial.[12]
