NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, Pa. (CBS) – A Northampton County gentlemen's club has been shut down – for at least a few days.

Officers showed up at Spanky's East on the 1700 block of Butler Pike in Easton on Tuesday to close the establishment.

This comes after a judge issued an immediate injunction in response to a petition by Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli, labeling the business as a public nuisance, for alleged violations dating back to 2006.
