Three managers and two bartenders were apprehended in a raid on an after-hours club in north Houston on Saturday morning.
The Houston Police Department’s After-Hours Club Task Force raided Underground Storage on West Little York around 2:30 a.m.
Police claimed they had received reports about illegal alcohol sales, narcotics, and excessive noise at the club.
Police seized cocaine and illegal beverages from the facility.
DWI enforcement units apprehended multiple patrons as they left the club.
Police reported that the building did not have a certificate of occupancy, a fire escape door, or up-to-date electrical systems.
Inspectors declared the club dangerous.
“Establishments like this contribute to an increase for calls for service, they disrupt our community and, this location right here, a month ago, there was an HPD sergeant that was involved in a crash with a DWI individual. He left this establishment at about 5:30 and crashed into an on-duty police department sergeant,” said HPD Assistant Chief Skelton.
