Three undercover members of the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad, including a Channahon officer, were arrested last week after allegedly getting into a fight at a Peoria strip club.
According to a report, members of the squad went to Big Al’s strip club on Tuesday while in town for an enforcement conference.
After one of the members failed to show identification, bouncers told them they could leave if unhappy.

A 34-year-old Bolingbrook police officer, according to the report, then told the bouncer, “I’m leaving anyway. Why don’t you try and make me."
While the Bolingbrook cop and bouncer were squaring off, Peoria police say a 26-year-old Channahon officer pushed the bouncer over a chair.
