Yesterday a video [4]was uploaded to Youtube from user Devon Arnold showing a police officer entering Cahoots on Bardstown Road and patting down patrons. The video is titled "Police Shut Down Cahoots 9/10/14" and can be viewed here:
In the video, the officer assures patrons: “If you don’t have anything on you, you don’t have nothing to worry about. We all straight?”
He continues: “Now, show of hands, who’s got something on them that they shouldn’t have. No one? We all clean? We’re gonna start over here in this corner and we’re going to work our way around, and if you’re clean, then you get to go out the front door.”
