Police fight strip club liquor license to avoid bloodshed: "Montreal police investigators who have testified before the liquor board hearings say they have gathered information that Goodridge controls Club Temptation and that he paid $250,000 for the bar along with agreeing to cover the cost of major renovations.
At least some of the evidence indicates Goodridge took control of the club through intimidation.
On May 29, 2009, the Montreal police received a call about men who were refusing to pay their bills while they drank at Club Temptation. When the police arrived they were directed to the club’s VIP area where they found Goodridge seated along with Fritz Gerald (King) Michel, an influential street gang member and Eric Naudi, a man Goodridge had been arrested with in the past.
Stéphane Dumas, a member of Project Eclipse, the Montreal police street gang unit, asked Goodridge what was going on. Dumas testified that Goodridge told him that he was the club’s manager. Goodridge also said that the dispute over the bar tab was because all of the furniture in the bar belonged to him and that Vallera was late in paying for it. Dumas testified that Goodridge told him that if Vallera didn’t pay what he owed soon he would remove all the furniture within a week. No one inside the bar ended up filing a complaint to the police"
