Dorchester Man Charged With Threatening to Shoot Strip Club Employee

A Dorchester man threatened to shoot an employee of a strip club before taken in custody for drunken driving, police say.

Alcides Soares, 32, was arrested Tuesday afternoon and was also charged with threatening to commit a crime. He was arraigned in Stoughton District Court on Wednesday.

At around 2:40 p.m., police received a call for a fight in the parking lot of Club Alex’s on Washington Street. When they arrived, police obsessed people talking to a man who was identified as Soares in his car.

An employee of the establishment told police that Soares came into the club and demanded a drink. When service was denied because he appeared to have been drinking before arriving, he said, “I shoot people like you now go get me a drink.” Soares continued to allegedly threaten and verbally assault the victim adding “I shoot b*****s like you, Get up on stage you old crack head whore. Go get me a drink, I’ll shoot you b***h.”

After the employee was able to identified Soares, he told police he was refused water. During the conversation, the police report described him as fixated on the water, agitated, and smelling of alcohol with glassy and blood shot eyes.

Soares was taken into custody after failing a field sobriety check and registering a blood alcohol content level of .214.

Bail for Soares was set at $800. He is due back in court on Oct. 2 for a pretrial hearing.
