"The LA City Attorney has filed a whopping 40 criminal charges against the owners of Hollywood nightclub Playhouse. Last week’s announcement comes after a massive multi-agency effort where the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, LA Department of Building and Safety, LA Planning Department, and the Los Angeles Police Department investigated the club over a ten-month period. City Attorney Mike Feuer made the announcement on Friday, which includes allegations of after hours alcohol sales, over-serving intoxicated customers, and lack of security. The focus on Playhouse began when a shooting occurred on New Year’s Day in 2018, where a patron was shot in the leg in front the club. According to Feuer’s statement, officers entered Playhouse and discovered it was still serving alcohol well beyond mandated 2 a.m. last call." - Mona Holmes
