According to police, Anderson and a friend were walking back to the Stone Hedge, which shut down following pressure from the town of Babylon last year–when someone in a vehicle that was parked on the Sunrise Highway Service Road in front of the strip club called Anderson by his nickname.

Anderson walked behind the vehicle as his friend entered Stone Hedge, police said.
