Posted

Daytona Beach, FL - A dancer at a Daytona Beach gentlemen's club was arrested for threatening her manager and an armed security guard with a BB gun after she was fired from the establishment, according to Daytona Beach Police (DBPD). Police say 28-year-old Amber Colquitt was arrested early Thursday morning after she was fired from her job at Pin-Ups Gentlemen's Club on International Speedway. According to arrest reports, Colquitt was removed from the club after she got into a fight with another dancer over money made during the shift. Colquitt claimed that the other dancer stole her tip money that was thrown on the stage. According to the manager and the security guard, Colquitt became angry after she was told to leave and made threats to come back and "shoot up the place." Colquitt claimed that the manager had struck her and that the manager was siding with the other dancer over her. Colquitt left the property and returned with what appeared to be a rifle. Colquitt pointed the rifle at her boss and the security guard. That's when the security guard pointed his handgun at her and ordered her to the ground. The rifle that Colquitt was carrying turned out to be a BB gun. According to arrest reports, Colquitt said that she brought the BB gun back to the club for self-defense. Colquitt was taken into custody by DBPD and is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
