Bada Bing will not reopen, even though a judge only halted operations temporarily after the sheriff's and solicitor's offices cited repeated violence at the business.

The owners of the club at 119 College Park Road "decided to do something different," attorney Joenathan Chaplin said last week. Deputy Solicitor Blair Jennings, who argued that the club is a nuisance, said he had not officially been notified it will not reopen. "We're pleased it's closed and it will stay closed," he said.

The club offered alcohol and exotic dancing. Two men were killed in separate shootings in the parking lot between February 2006 and Jan. 7. Jennings said the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office responded to the club about 30 times in the past two years for other complaints, including gunfire.

The club's owners opted not to open after the January homicide, but Jennings got a judge's order Jan. 17 to temporarily close the club, the first step toward putting it out of business permanently. Chaplin asked for a continuance and the solicitor's office was waiting on the club to make the next move, but it never came.

Neither did the name of the Berkeley County sheriff's deputy who Chaplin claimed in court had been working Bada Bing security off-duty. Deputies have to get permission to work extra jobs and can't work at businesses that serve alcohol.

Chaplin didn't name the deputy but said after court that the officer was working the night of the January killing.

Sheriff Wayne DeWitt said he was "angered and offended" that Chaplin made the allegation, which his administrators determined wasn't true. Jennings demanded the name of the deputy and copies of payroll slips and pay stubs in court papers he filed in February. "It's an important allegation. The sheriff was concerned about it. We were concerned about it," Jennings said.

Chaplin said last week the statement was based on information he had at the time and added, "I guess my final word is the whole issue was moot" because the club won't reopen.
