Since winning government approval in January to sell alcohol — against the wishes of some residents who feared a wave of crime and other troubles if the booze began flowing — a suburban strip club has had only one arrest reported by the Kane County sheriff's office.But it’s a doozy.A 51-year- old far northwest suburban man was hauled off by sheriff’s deputies earlier this year after he obtained two lap dances from a stripper at Blackjacks Gentlemen’s Club in the South Elgin area and allegedly refused to pay for one of them.Police records say he also:Threatened the club’s workers.Mentioned amid the ordeal that he had “two AK” rifles and “a big machine gun.”Kicked officers, resisted arrest and “made suggestions he would assault the manager” of the club “if he encountered him in public.”He also was given the opportunity by responding police to pay the $40 the club said he owed to avoid getting locked up and, even though he had enough cash in his pocket, he told officers he’d rather go to jail than pony up, records say.The suspect, Terrance Lewis, was arrested Feb. 10, then “released under pretrial supervision release conditions after his arrest,” authorities say.He failed to show up at a May court hearing and has another hearing June 11, authorities say.He’s been charged with aggravated battery to a peace officer, theft of labor, services or use of property, and resisting a police officer, court records show.The suspect “stated he gave a dancer $40 for services,” according to a police report that notes the troubles occurred around 1 p.m. on a Tuesday.“He explained he had asked the dancer to provide him additional services... and offered her $200, but she declined.” Among the criminal charges leveled against the patron of Blackjacks Gentlemen’s Club for an incident earlier this year.Kane County state’s attorney’s office The man “maintained he only owed $40 and had already paid that amount.”However, the club’s manager said he received “two dances from a female dancer at $40 per song, totaling $80. The manager indicated they had video footage showing” he received two three-minute dances.The manager said the suspect “refused to pay the $80, became verbally aggressive and threatened all of the staff members present.”The suspect claimed “the dancer left the room multiple times during the service and was not present for a full second song,” police records show. The man also “stated he did not have an additional $40 to pay.”But when police searched him, an officer found “at least two twenty dollar bills” on him.“When asked if he wanted to resolve the matter by paying,” the man said “he would prefer to be arrested,” records show.Lewis, who couldn’t be reached for comment, also said at one point that “he was wearing work attire, including a hard hat, goggles and work boots, as ‘a front for the women' but was not actually employed,” police records show.

Other public records show police were summoned to the establishment a dozen or so other times so far this year for a variety of calls, though they apparently didn't result in more arrests.The club’s previous liquor license was revoked amid the 2012 prosecution of the establishment’s father-and-son operators at the time, Dominic and Anthony Buttitta.They were charged by federal authorities with tax fraud and running an illegal sports gambling ring. Among other things, the men were accused of collecting $3.7 million in “house fees” from dancers at the club over a number of years and hiding the payments from the IRS.The men landed in prison and continued to run Blackjacks from behind bars — with a net profit of $1 million a year, according to published accounts.A real estate company run by the men still owns the property in unincorporated Kane County, but they do not own the club, which remains at the same address with the same name. Rather, the owner is Elgin Entertainment Holdings Inc., owned by Ann Marie Buttitta, according to records and interviews.Anthony is her son, and Dominic is her ex-husband.The club’s lawyer, Brittany Pedersen, says the fact there haven’t been many incidents at Blackjacks “tracks” with what club officials have been saying since they applied for the liquor license — that crime hasn’t been and won’t be a major problem. ...read more read less
