TAMPA — Two after hours bottle clubs, “GLO Ultra Lounge” and “Til Dawn,” were raided by Hillsborough County Sheriff’s officers early Saturday morning.
HCSO arrested 11 people in the early morning raids with assistance from agents from Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverage and Tobacco and Florida Probation and Parole.
The owner of GLO Ultra Lounge, Carlos Guzman and manager of Til Dawn, William Rich, were arrested and charged for selling alcohol without a license.
Bottle clubs allow patrons to bring their own alcohol onto their premises but the sale of alcohol by employees is prohibited. Sheriff David Gee led the investigation into these two particular clubs because of the potential for future harm to the neighboring community and businesses.
In addition to the illegal alcohol sales at GLO, detectives seized 9.2 grams of cocaine and 11 grams of prescription pills left behind by patrons.
Over 80 bottles of alcohol were seized from both clubs combined.
Both GLO and Til Dawn have had a sordid past involving drug transactions, prostitution, multiple shootings and one homicide.
HCSO reported that the targeting of these two specific clubs is part of a larger effort with Hillsborough County Commissioner Sandra Murman to shut down havens of criminal activity.
