Prop it 36 Drop it

A 24-year-old female bartender in the Mississippi River community of Alton was charged with misdemeanor lewd entertainment last week after apparently working in the buff.

Police arrested Jamie Day last Friday at the Pub Room after someone called to complain. Day had managed to put on a shirt before officers arrived, authorities said.

It's not the first time it has happened in that area. Last month in nearby Jersey County, a 33-year-old bartender at The Cabin Incorporated in Delhi was charged with public indecency after sheriff's deputies found her working nude.

And the Pub Room itself has been the site of some earlier wardrobe malfunctions. According to this article in The Alton Telegraph, on Dec. 23, 2005, two scantily clad women employees and a female customer were charged with public indecency.

On that occasion, someone called police to complain about "partially naked women" at the business. As noted in the Alton police report, one of the employees was wearing only a thin, black G-string and black boots; a second employee was working partially clothed in a transparent red, lingerie top, Santa Claus hat, thin G-string underwear, white high-heeled shoes, thigh-high stockings, and her top was open, exposing her breasts.

According to Madison County court records, none of the women filed pleas, all of them used attorney Steven Selby of Alton, and all three cases eventually were "nolle prosequi" (not prosecuted). Associate Judge Lewis Mallott closed all of them on Nov. 17, 2006.
