Detroit Strip Clubs: Judge Declares Mistrial in Sam Riddle Corruption Case

February 18, 2010 at 12:36 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No Comments

St. John and his partner, Joe Hall, were trying to get a topless bar license transferred to a club on Congress in Detroit. Riddle told them he could have Conyers’ vote for $25,000, St. John testified.
“I was a little shocked and definitely concerned,” St. John said. “I interpreted it as bribery. I thought: ‘Are they trying to set me up?’ “
Hall testified this morning that he was also fearful that Riddle was trying to entrap them.
“Here’s a guy asking me for $25,000 and he’s wearing a gravy-stained tracksuit,” Hall said. “It was like something out of a bad movie.”
St. John testified that he, Hall and local consultant Chris Jackson, who was assisting Déjà vu, sent Riddle away from the table.

The following week, Detroit City Council voted 5-4 against the topless bar license transfer.
