BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Williston commissioners have suspended the liquor licenses of the city's two strip clubs for the second time in two years due to what police say are an excessive number of complaints about disorderly behavior.
Commissioners in the oil boom town voted unanimously Tuesday night to suspend the licenses at Whispers Nightclub and Heartbreakers Gentleman's Club for 60 days.
Commissioners also suspended the strip clubs' licenses in 2013 for excessive calls for disorderly behavior.
Detective David Peterson says police have responded to almost 200 calls at the strip clubs since then. He says the large number of calls at the strip clubs takes away police resources from the rest of the town.
