(COLUMBUS) - The Ohio Liquor Control Commission has revoked the liquor
permit of a Montgomery County adult entertainment establishment starting at
close of business September 20.
Agents began investigating the Twenty Two Fifty, Inc., also
known as Sharkey’s, in May of 2017. During
the investigation at Sharkey’s, agents were able to purchase drugs and lap
dances using food stamp benefits.
Throughout the five-month investigation, agents exchanged
$2,404.87 in food stamps to purchase heroin, fentanyl,
carfentanil, cocaine, methamphetamines and lap dances. In all, criminal charges were
filed against employees and patrons for drug trafficking, food stamp
trafficking, aggravated shipment and distribution of heroin, engaging in a
pattern of corrupt activity, and illegal sexual activity.
Agents also filed 44 administrate charges that were heard by the Liquor Control Commission that
included drug possession, drug sales, engaging in sexual activity, food
stamp trafficking and solicitation.
This is the second adult entertainment
establishment liquor permit that has been revoked by the Liquor Control
Commission as a result of an Ohio Investigative Unit investigation into food
stamp and drug trafficking this year in the Dayton area. The other location, The Harem, 5825 North Dixie Drive, lost their liquor license in
May of 2018.
If you suspect food stamp fraud, human trafficking or drug
trafficking please call #677.
