A fired stripper faces multiple charges after allegedly attacking her former manager with a 7-foot metal pole at a North Miami Beach strip club last week. Princess Aaliyah Bell, 23, was arrested following the incident at Taboo, where she had been let go for her behavior and tendency to fight with coworkers.
Return Visit Turns Chaotic
Bell had been allowed by the manager to return to Taboo to pick up her belongings after being fired. North Miami Beach Police were called to the club on Monday after reports of a woman battering staff and causing a disturbance.
Bell had reportedly caused a scene shortly after arriving to gather her property. According to the report, she began running around inside the club, throwing things and cursing until security stepped in and escorted her outside.
7-Foot Metal Pole Used in Alleged Assault
The incident did not end after Bell was removed from the building. She reportedly returned with a 7-foot metal pole and began waving it around at security.
Bell then allegedly threw the pole and hit the manager in the leg. By the time officers arrived at the club, she had already left the scene.
Arrest and Outstanding Warrants
Officers found Bell walking nearby. When they attempted to speak with her, bodycam footage shows she took off running. She was caught and taken into custody, then transported to a hospital for a medical examination before being booked into jail.
Bell faces charges of aggravated battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, resisting an officer without violence, and giving a false name or identification.
During a court appearance on Tuesday, it was revealed that Bell, who lives in Detroit, had several outstanding warrants. These included one in-state warrant and a fugitive warrant from Georgia, reportedly related to a robbery.
