A fight this weekend at the Jumping Turtle may finally be the end for the shitty place. The city of San Marcos has already revoked the bar’s entertainment permit but the owners are fighting that decision and earlier this month, the club filed a federal lawsuit against the city.

From NCTimes.com:

A long line for the women’s restroom may have sparked one of several brawls early Saturday at a controversial San Marcos nightclub and restaurant. Three people were stabbed, one person was beaten, a security guard was hit in the face with a bottle, and two women were arrested, Sheriff’s Department officials said. Every deputy in San Marcos, and some from surrounding unincorporated areas, were dispatched around 1am: 10 deputies, two detectives, two sergeants and a lieutenant.

A female security guard was taken to the hospital with injuries from being hit in the face with a bottle, Crist said. He said the guard was hired to protect a rap singer performing at the nightclub. The guard identified two women as her two attackers. Irene Cardenas, 32, of Escondido, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, the bottle, and Valerie Valadez, age 32, was cited on suspicion of battery and released, Crist said.
