A night out at a Florida strip club turned into a night in jail for one very confused customer.
The 21-year-old man learned the hard way that calling 911 isn’t customer service.
And a Florida man called 911 on a strip club employee for one shocking reason.
Sultan Alnofaie thought police would help him get his money back
Just after midnight on Sunday, June 8, deputies with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office received an unusual 911 call from the OZ Gentlemen’s Club near Clearwater, Florida.
Sultan Jiza Muedh Alnofaie, 21, was on the line demanding police assistance for what he considered a serious injustice.
The Saudi Arabian citizen living in Miramar had paid $300 to a club employee for sex, he explained to dispatchers.
But there was a problem with his transaction.
“However he did not receive said services,” according to the arrest affidavit obtained by multiple news outlets.
Alnofaie told 911 operators to “come and take him to jail,” referring to club security who he claimed had “taken” his money.
The young man apparently believed law enforcement would side with his complaint and arrest the staff member who refused his request.
He was about to learn that’s not how strip clubs or the legal system work.
Police arrived to find an intoxicated customer who misunderstood the law
When deputies arrived at the scene, they quickly pieced together what had actually happened.
Club staff told officers that Alnofaie had obtained a private room and requested sex from an employee.
When the staff member denied his request, he called 911 for assistance.
The responding deputy noted that Alnofaie appeared heavily intoxicated during the encounter.
He was slurring his words while speaking and had a strong odor of alcohol emanating from his breath, according to the police report.
Strip clubs are adult entertainment venues, not brothels.
The employee who refused Alnofaie’s proposition was following the law.
Prostitution is illegal in Florida, and legitimate strip clubs don’t offer sexual services regardless of how much money customers are willing to pay.
The customer became the criminal
Instead of arresting club security as Alnofaie had demanded, deputies placed him under arrest.
He was charged with misuse of the wireless 911 system, a misdemeanor under Florida law.
The charge stems from using emergency services for non-emergency situations or making false reports to law enforcement.
Alnofaie was transported to the Pinellas County Jail and later released after posting a $500 bond.
No charges related to solicitation or prostitution were filed against him, though his actions certainly constituted an attempt to engage in illegal activity.
The arrest report showed that Alnofaie is a Saudi Arabian citizen currently living in Miramar, a suburb of Miami.
This isn’t the first time someone has misused 911 for trivial complaints
While Alnofaie’s case is particularly embarrassing, it’s not uncommon for people to call 911 for situations that don’t constitute emergencies.
Emergency dispatchers regularly receive calls about everything from cold food at restaurants to perceived unfair treatment at businesses.
The 911 system is designed for actual emergencies where lives, property, or public safety are at risk.
Using it to complain about not receiving illegal services at a strip club definitely doesn’t qualify.
Alnofaie’s case serves as a reminder that adult entertainment venues operate within legal boundaries.
Strip clubs provide dancing and entertainment, not prostitution services.
Customers who expect otherwise are likely to find themselves disappointed and potentially in legal trouble.
The young man’s expensive lesson in Florida law cost him $300 for services he didn’t receive, plus a $500 bond to get out of jail.
He’s also facing a criminal charge that could result in additional fines and a permanent record.
Florida’s adult entertainment industry operates under strict regulations
Florida strip clubs must follow specific laws governing their operations.
These establishments are licensed and regulated by local authorities who ensure they comply with zoning laws, business regulations, and criminal statutes.
Employees at legitimate clubs are entertainers, not sex workers.
They’re protected by the same laws that govern any other workplace, including the right to refuse inappropriate requests from customers.
Customers who attempt to solicit sexual services at these venues are breaking the law, regardless of how much money they’re willing to pay.
Alnofaie’s case highlights the importance of understanding what services are actually offered at adult entertainment venues.
The incident also demonstrates how alcohol can impair judgment and lead to poor decision-making.
A night that started as entertainment ended with an arrest record and public embarrassment.
Most strip club patrons understand the boundaries and enjoy the entertainment without crossing legal lines.
Alnofaie’s experience serves as a cautionary tale for anyone who might be confused about what these establishments actually offer.
