Lubbock police shut down a Chippendales show half an hour after it started Friday night, saying the performers "simulated a sexual act."

Eight dancers, a production manager and a Jake's Sports Caf manager were handcuffed and taken to jail amidst a disgruntled crowd of women.

Witnesses said a dancer was announcing that the performers were being arrested, which some attendees thought was part of the show, when a police officer pulled him off the stage.

Lubbock Police Lt. Gregory Stevens, with special operations, said the male dancing group violated the city's recently strengthened sexually oriented business ordinance by simulating a sexual act

Judge frees jailed Chippendales dancers with charges yet to be filed

A judge ruled the case against eight Chippendales dancers wasn't strong enough to keep them in jail.

The male dancing group, its manager and a Jake's Sports Cafe manager were released from the Lubbock County Jail at about 1 p.m. Saturday. They spent the night there for violating the city's sexually oriented business ordinance, according to Lubbock police.

The dancers and managers were arrested shortly before 8 p.m. Friday during the first of three scheduled performances at the bar. The owner, Scott Stephenson, said the bar is "making arrangements" to refund tickets.

Police Lt. Gregory Stevens, with special operations, said Friday that at least one Chippendales dancer "simulated a sexual act," which since the bar did not have a sexually oriented business permit, violated the city ordinance.

The dancers and managers, however, were released without having to post bail, Lubbock County Sheriff's Lt. Kim Howell said.

"There wasn't enough to hold them," she said.
