Tavares Rynardo Walker, 42, and Quantanell l Quana Walker, 35, were both charged Sunday with operating a bottle club without a license.

A husband and wife were arrested after an unlicensed storefront nightclub with strippers was raided in a shopping center at 944 N. Arlington Road, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.

Tavares Rynardo Walker, 42, and Quantanell l Quana Walker, 35, were both charged Sunday with operating a bottle club without a license, keeping a place where alcoholic beverages are sold and lack of a dancing entertainment license, their arrest reports state.

Police said they had received numerous complaints about a nightclub operating at the shopping center just north of the Arlington Expressway, and investigators were sent in just after 2 a.m., the reports state. The officers paid a $20 cover charge to get into the club, learning that they could bring alcohol in to drink or buy it there.

The facility also “hosted adult entertainment and advertised as such” without a proper license, the reports said.

Both arrest reports said the Walkers operated the facility on a regular basis, with a closet containing several bottles of alcohol, cups and a cooler with ice in back. Two “strippers” were inside, saying they were “here to just make money.”

Quantanell  Walker told officers her husband rents the nightclub for birthday parties and fashion shows, calling it an “event center,” but he refused to answer any questions, the arrest reports said. He also was cited for numerous fire code violations and cease and desist orders, while additional arrests were made at the club for unrelated charges, the report not spelling those out.
