Sacramento Strip Clubs: $5.3 million bail too high? No way, victim’s family insists
Serratos’ attorney, Charles Pacheco, said outside court that his client’s family, too, will give the judge letters, explaining why they want Serratos out. Pacheco said Serratos deals in property and other investments and is no threat.
Pacheco suggested that in lieu of jail, the judge order Serratos to wear an ankle bracelet to alert authorities if he were to drink.
“He needs to run his business and take care of his family,” Pacheco said. “He’s not a flight risk.”
Court papers show that in 1999 he drew prison time for a fight in which he nearly cut off a man’s ear.
In June 2006, Serratos was convicted of driving a boat while drunk. Later that month, he was arrested on a charge of drunken driving behind the wheel of a car leaving Déjà Vu Showgirls, a Stockton strip club, where Serratos had pulled a BB gun on an employee. He was later convicted of those crimes.
