from www.pressherald.com – PORTLAND — A scuffle between two exotic dancers at a strip club on Riverside Street has led to a felony charge against one of the women, who police say attacked the other with a stiletto-heeled shoe.
Portland police were called to PT’s Showclub at 222 Riverside St. at 11:30 p.m. Saturday for a report of a fight between two workers.
They found that a fight had broken out between two of the strippers. Camile Robenek, 30, of South Portland had pushed Nerlend Previlon [pictured], 25, of Malden, Mass., to the floor, police said.
Previlon got up swinging one of her high-heel shoes, police said, hitting Robenek in the head and face. Robenek was taken to Maine Medical Center, where she was treated for facial injuries and released.
She was issued a summons to appear in court on a charge of simple assault.
Previlon was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, accused of using a weapon in the melee.
The police report did not indicate the reason for the fight, which occurred on the main floor of the club, not on stage. A call to the club was not returned by press time.
Aggravated assault is punishable by as much as five years in prison and a $5,000 fine, though penalties are typically significantly less. Simple assault is a misdemeanor, punishable by as much as 364 days in jail and a $2,000 fine.
