Greensboro police showed up in force at Greene Street Club and nine other nightclubs on June 19, the night of the SuperJam hip-hop concert at the coliseum. Accounts of how many officers participated range from 15 to 21, depending on whose version of events you believe.
The investigative sweep also hit Fantacity Community Room, Rumba Cache, Arizona Pete's, Renaissance Jazz Cafe, Lotus, Club Rain, R&R Bingo and Club Genesis, said Sgt. Teresa Biffle of the Greensboro Police Department. Police made 14 arrests, including three at Greene Street. Jarrell Harring, Anthony Duval Marquez and Keith Sean Holliday were each charged with acting as unarmed security guards without proper registration.
Biffle said the sweeps were prompted by complaints from patrons about club security personnel committing aggravated assaults, and police are unable to investigate because club owners do not recall who was on duty at the time. Biffle said Greene Street was not being singled out.
"I don't want you to say this was a complaint with Greene Street Club," she said. "We were dealing with complaints about clubs citywide."

This is all bullsh*t!
How many crimes were committed while the GPD (and there were 22 in total) were going around harassing bars and clubs? Let the ALE (Alcohol Law Enforcement) handle that task since it's their JOB!
