Detroit Strip Clubs: Stabbing victim’s memory clouded
May 17, 2012 at 1:49 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsWINDSOR, Ont. — A Chatham man who was stabbed seven times during a melee at a Windsor strip club testified Wednesday he has little recollection how the fight began.
Joseph Robert told Superior Court he was with friends at Leopardâs strip club on April 28, 2010, when he got into a fight with 30-year-old Darryl Byrd, who is charged with attempted murder.
Robert, 28, said his memory is sketchy because the fight happened two years ago and he was intoxicated. He refused two offers from assistant Crown attorney Elizabeth Brown to refresh his memory by viewing the statement he gave police.
From testimony heard so far by Justice Renee Pomerance, Robert and three friends drove to Windsor from Chatham to have some fun. Robert and a cousin were violating bail conditions imposed after the two were charged with aggravated assault in connection with a bar fight in Chatham in December 2009. The two were required to refrain from drinking and had a 10 p.m. curfew.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Detroit pastor Marvin Winans assaulted, carjacked
May 17, 2012 at 1:49 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsWinans, 54, told WXYZ-TV that four or five young men followed him from inside the gas station and attacked him while he gassed up his vehicle.
Winans said he didn’t believe he was seriously hurt, but planned to seek medical attention.
He said his attackers appeared to be among 10 young men he passed by inside the station, and he warily watched them as he pumped gas.
“I’m just saddened that it has come to this,” Winans said. “This kind of nonsense just has to stop. It’s just the savageness of what’s happening in the street.”
He also believes his attackers didn’t recognize him. Winans is pastor of the 4,500-member Perfecting Church on Detroit’s east side. In February, he gave singer Whitney Houston’s eulogy.
“And if they did, it didn’t make much difference,” said Winans, who has been active in civic issues, including taking a stand against the proliferation of strip clubs in Detroit’s neighborhoods.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Trial begins on strip club stabbing incident

Joseph Robert went to Leopard’s Lounge strip club for some fun with friends, but the evening ended with him getting into a fight with a 30-year-old man armed with a knife, according to court testimony Wednesday.
Darryl Byrd is on trial facing an attempted murder charge. He’s accused of stabbing Robert seven times during an altercation on April 28, 2010.
Who started the fight is not clear. So far, there’s been conflicting testimony about the incident.
Differing versions of the incident alternatively describe 28-year-old Robert struggling alone with Byrd — or Robert, his cousin and possibly a third man in a “very violent group hug” with Byrd, according to the testimony of Kyle Parry, the most sober of the four associates at the club.

DETROIT— The trial for a former Southgate police officer accused of sexually assaulting an exotic dancer last year is set to begin tomorrow in Wayne County Circuit Court.
Emmanuel Paravas, 44, is accused of assaulting a woman while on duty after he had helped her two hours before. The woman, a Pennsylvania resident, was in town to perform at Subi’s Place, a strip club at 12916 North Line Road.
The alleged incident occurred at about 3 a.m. Feb. 9, 2011, at Holiday Inn Southgate Banquet & Conference Center, 17201 North Line Road, according to testimony at a preliminary examination of the evidence against Paravas.
Two hours earlier, the officer responded to a domestic violence call at La Quinta Inn, 12888 Reeck Road, between the woman, who allegedly was drunk and slurring her words, and her husband. Hotel employees called police after numerous disturbances involving the couple.
