FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — A father wants investigators to pursue fraud and larceny charges against a strip club after his son ran up a $53,000 bill in a single night while celebrating his graduation from Georgia Tech.
Joe Salter, 52, of Mary Esther, told investigators Club 10 employees took advantage of his 24-year-old son, Tommy. The younger Salter was at the club Aug. 18 to celebrate his graduation.
According to a report from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, Salter told employees he could only spend $600. But Club 10 owner Tim Beal said Salter bought at least 19 bottles of champagne — priced from $150 to $2,000.
Beal said Salter signed a receipt for each champagne purchase and even scrawled his initials next to itemized charges. But the elder Salter said only the signature on the first receipt matches his son's.
The sheriff's report alleges larceny and credit card fraud.
Beal said Salter appeared to know what he was doing throughout the night.
"This fellow was lucid," Beal said. "He was actually dancing with the manager, Chris, right before he left."
Beal said he had already talked to American Express after Salter filed a complaint with the company, seeking to have part of the charge withdrawn. The company decided in Club 10's favor, he said.
Just a few issues...
- Why is this grown ass boy's daddy fighting his battles? The Amex card may be the father's name, but I would drag his ass to Judge Mathis so fast.
- Trying to emulate Chester the Molester Kelly in the club is never a good thing.
- The young man has student debt right out of college and tittay bar debt to pay on top of that. From what I've heard, the tittay bar collectors are worse than the student loan people.
-Having a college degree doesn't necessarily make you smart.
What purchases have you made in the past that now, in retrospect, make you want to kick your own ass?
Me? Everything I ever brought on my own Sears card when I was 18-19 years old. Sears is the debbil.
