Booty LoungeGENESEE COUNTY, MI (WNEM) -
While the owners of a party bus and the city of Detroit continue a legal dispute, the controversial stripper bus now sits in one local community.
According to a Flint Journal report, the bus is parked on a quiet rural street in Genesee County's Montrose Township.
Several months ago, Detroit police briefly impounded the bus they say operated illegally as a strip club for reveling football fans at a popular tailgating spot. Bus operator Joe Parsons said he has a lawyer investigating what permits the bus needs, but he said Detroit has no ordinance against "mobile entertainment clubs."
The Flint Journal reported that co-owner of the bus, Travis Hayward of Montrose Township, brought it home for maintenance work before it heads out on a nationwide tour.
The operators of the Booty Lounge say on their company's Facebook page that the red and black bus can be hired for private parties and is available with or without "ladies."
It features two stages with steel dance poles, a smoke machine, laser lights and a sound system. They also say they park the bus at "numerous events" each year and invite the public to "pay a visit."
