HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL (WFLA) –

Hillsborough County commissioner Sandra Murman is promising action regarding the problems surrounding Thee Crazy Horse bikini bar on Hillsborough Avenue in Town N’ Country.

Newschannel Eight provided the commissioner with a report from the sheriff’s office detailing crime calls at the bar dating back 12 months.

“It’s a problem, I can see that from here,” said Murman. “We’re going to look at this and I’m going to sit down with the sheriff’s office and look at all of these complaints and find out, do we need more patrols? What do we need out here?”

The report details dozens of calls ranging from a deadly shooting investigation from this past weekend, to other shooting calls, drug activity and fights.

Commissioner Murman says her office is already mobilizing its forces. “We have asked for a crime report in the neighborhood, our code enforcement here, we are sending out there to check on the noise and the complaints from the neighbors,” said Murman. “Also, environmental protection commission which does monitor noise, will check into it also.”

Dario Ruiz and other neighbors have expressed concern more isn’t being done to curb the violence at the club. “I mean, these are guns going off right behind my house. And I have nothing but windows facing that direction. I mean, how do you think I feel with two little kids? ”

Murman says the wheels are already in motion. “We are checking every available channel that we can to make sure that we’re protecting the citizens in the community and having it be as safe as possible.” Said Murman. “You know, people live in an area because they want a good quality of life. And if that’s taken away from them, we need to help them get that back.”
