Police said a dispute at Stir Crazy Showgirls ended with gunfire at the front entrance and a crash about a mile away.
PINECREST, Fla. — Two men accused of firing shots at a Pinecrest gentlemen’s club after a dispute inside the business appeared in bond court Thursday, a day after police said surveillance video captured bullets striking the club’s front entrance as patrons remained inside.
The case drew attention in South Florida because investigators say the confrontation moved quickly from an argument over money inside Stir Crazy Showgirls to gunfire outside and a police chase in a purple Lamborghini. The men now face a string of charges, and one of them is also being held on an extraditable New York warrant as the Miami-Dade case moves ahead.
Police said the incident began early Wednesday at Stir Crazy Showgirls, 12425 S. Dixie Highway, when a group of four people caused a disturbance in a VIP area. Investigators said the group had brought alcohol and kept drinking inside. At some point, according to police, one person tossed bills that first appeared to be $1 notes but later turned out to be $100 bills. The argument with management grew worse, officers said, and the group was told to leave. Pinecrest Police Chief Jason Cohen said the fight centered on money the group believed it had spent without getting the service it expected. Surveillance video described by police showed one man pounding on the club door after being forced outside while a purple Lamborghini SUV sat in front of the building.
Investigators identified the two arrested men as Wandy Joel Rodriguez, 35, and Ricardo Hadam, 28. Police said Hadam got a gun from the Lamborghini and made threats before Rodriguez was later seen with the same weapon. Authorities said Rodriguez then fired about five rounds toward the entrance as the SUV backed away. Two bullets hit the glass doors, and three struck an exterior wall, according to the arrest reports. Police have not said whether anyone inside was injured, and the reports released Thursday did not describe any gunfire coming from the club. Rodriguez later told investigators he was involved in the fight and identified himself on the surveillance video, saying, “I was drunk,” according to the report. The other two people in the group, including a minor, were not kept in custody.
The location and timing added to the concern. The gunfire happened outside a business where patrons and workers were still inside near the front doors, according to investigators. Officers responded quickly after hearing the shots, and police said the Lamborghini fled the scene before crashing into a pumping station near Southwest 124th Street and 94th Avenue, about a mile from the club. That crash ended the chase and led to the arrests. The surveillance footage became a central part of the public account because it appeared to show the sequence from the argument outside to the SUV pulling away as shots were fired. Police have not said how many people were inside the entrance area when the bullets hit, and they have not released damage estimates for the club or nearby property.
Rodriguez was charged with shooting or throwing a deadly missile, disorderly conduct and contributing to the delinquency of a child. NBC Miami also reported he was denied bond because of an active 2015 rape warrant from New York and agreed to be extradited after the Florida case is resolved. Local 10 reported jail records listed bond at $7,651 on the local counts, showing the New York hold remains a major factor in whether he can be released. Hadam, who police said drove the Lamborghini, was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm, fleeing and eluding police at a high speed, battery and contributing to the delinquency of a child. He was granted a $12,000 bond and ordered to stay away from Stir Crazy. Local 10 also reported an additional DUI-related warrant with bond still pending.
Outside court, the case left a vivid picture of a short, chaotic burst of violence tied to a night out that turned into a criminal investigation. Cohen said the dispute began over money and service inside the club, but the public record released so far leaves several questions open, including who owned the gun, who owned the Lamborghini and whether more charges could follow for anyone else in the group. The club itself was not accused of wrongdoing in the reports, but it became the focus of the case because the front doors were struck while people were still inside. For now, both men remain jailed or under court restrictions while prosecutors decide the next steps and police continue to build the case from video, witness accounts and physical evidence from the scene and crash site.
As of Friday, Rodriguez remained tied to both the Miami-Dade prosecution and the New York warrant, while Hadam faced release conditions that bar him from returning to the club. The next milestone is the continued court process in Miami-Dade as prosecutors move the charges forward.
