An undercover operation showed the three were working an unauthorized detail at the ‘Pink Pony Pompano’ Gentleman’s Club.
From NBC Miami:
“…the deputies were allowing the club to stay open longer than its license permitted, receiving cash for providing security and receiving an increased cash payment when the club stayed open past 2 a.m., officials said.
Ferreras and Wilkins told witnesses they were being investigated and that the witnesses should only admit to investigators that they were at the club but never received compensation, the BSO said.”
