Sam Moore accused of threatening police officer

Rachel DePompa broke the story via twitter last night:

Shockoe Strip Club Owner Sam Moore accused of threatening a Richmond Police Officer over the phone.

She later followed up with more details at NBC12.com stating that Moore allegedly threatened violence against a police officer, who had contacted Moore on behalf of a Club Velvet employee about a work dispute. The misdemeanor phone threat charge can lead to up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. The ABC Board is ruling this week in a separate matter to determine if Club Velvet will lose their liquor license.

Moore has 30 days to appeal the decision with the ABC and can continue to serve alcohol during that time. The transcript of the ABC hearing is available here (warning: graphic).
