Person of Interest Sought in Strip Club Stabbing

Three Morristown men were stabbed in an Oct. 26 melee that broke out at Club 15.

Morris County CrimeStoppers' website says it is offering up to $1,000 for information about an Oct. 26 fight that led to three men being stabbed at the Club 15 Gentleman’s Club on Route 15. The reward comes on the heels that area law enforcement is seeking a person of interest in the case.

At about 2:45 a.m. on that Saturday, Jefferson Township Police arrived at the bar after receiving reports of a fight that had broken out but had ended prior to the officers' arrival. Police later learned that three Morristown men had turned up with stab wounds at two area hospitals. 

Police obtained a video of the fight that includes a man now considered a person of interest.
