Strip club 'like gunpowder': gang expert

Strip club 'like gunpowder': gang expert: "Richard Goodridge is still trying to find a way to keep control of a downtown strip club that police are trying to shut down, the provincial liquor board was told yesterday.
The Montreal police are seeking to have the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux revoke Club Temptation's liquor permit based on the argument that the downtown strip bar poses a threat to public safety.
The club's liquor licence was temporarily suspended in April.
During three days of hearings, investigators have testified that, while the club is owned on paper by Joseph Vallera, a 61-year-old Montrealer, it is actually controlled by Goodridge, 41, a man with alleged ties to several street gangs"
