Texas DPS: Two men impersonated security officers at Aladdin’s Dream Boutique & Gentlemen’s Club
Laredo TX Oct 21 2022 Two men were arrested for working security at Aladdin’s Dream Boutique & Gentlemen’s Club without a license, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Daniel Almendariz, 20, and Miguel Angel Sanchez, 34, were each charged with impersonating a security officer.
At about 11 p.m. Oct. 1, a Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigation Division special agent arrived at Aladdin’s Dream Boutique & Gentlemen’s Club on 13502 Regional Drive. The special agent observed two individuals wearing all black and carrying radios.
One male had two handheld radios and one had a pocketknife, states the arrest affidavit. When the DPS special agent entered the business through the back, both males dressed in black started to walk away fast toward the front entrance to avoid the special agent, authorities said.
The special agent caught up to one male who was identified as Almendariz. He had black tactical pants, black tactical boots and a black polo shirt with the words “Protection Group” on the front and “Security” on the back, the affidavit states.
Almendariz was also carrying a butterfly-style knife dole blade and handheld radio. Almendariz allegedly admitted to working as a security guard. Further investigation revealed that Almendariz was not licensed as a security guard, according to DPS.
The second male was identified as Sanchez. He too was wearing black pants and a black shirt. Sanchez admitted to working at the establishment as a “bouncer.” Further investigation revealed that he was not licensed to work as a security guard, the affidavit states.
