From www.fox8.com- Akron police are investigating a fight between two exotic dancers at a strip club — that sent one of the entertainers to the hospital.

The victim, 52-year-old Jo Ellen Nolan, says she recently lost her job so she accepted a friend’s offer to take a position as a dancer at Club 1245 in Akron. But police say on her first night at work, one of her new co-workers took exception to Nolan’s presence in the dressing room at the club and began shouting at her.

Nolan says the other dancer then attacked her with a high heel shoe, striking her in the head multiple times. After bouncers broke up the fight, Nolan was taken to Akron General Hospital, where she was treated for lacerations on her forehead and on the top and side of her head.

Doctors had to use staples to close some of the cuts.

Nolan says it was “the worst pain, nobody wants to get hit in the head, especially with a hard shoe.”

The owner of Club 1245 declined comment on the allegations but a manager told Fox 8 News over the phone that Jo Ellen Nolan was not considered an employee of the club.

Akron police were notified about the incident by the hospital and have launched an investigation.

Lt. Rick Edwards says, “Obviously it is a crime…Our officers marked it as a felonious assault because there’s permanent damage on her head where she had staples put in her forehead and on the side of her head.”

So far, police have been unable to identify the dancer who attacked Nolan. But they have a lead, she goes by the stage name — “Beautiful.”

Nolan says her days as a dancer are now over, telling fox 8, “I’ve learned my lesson. I think I was just being stupid anyway, I just have to go to a temporary service or keep looking for a job, that was just an easy way out and it turned out to be h-e-double-l.”
