DeKalb County police say they busted up an illegal strip club run in a home by a 60-year-old man.

Darryl Malcolm Wright is accused of running the show, which included nude dancers, alcohol and prostitution, according to warrants released Tuesday.

Wright reportedly lives down the street from the operation housed on the 4300 block of Covington Highway near I-285.

Police raided the club over the weekend, arresting Wright and at least one other person, a 20-year-old woman charged with a misdemeanor count of performing nude.

Wright was charged with keeping a place of prostitution and released on $1,200 bond Saturday.

Police haven't released other details.
