Updated at 9:40am: An investigation continues into what ignited a fire shortly after 3am at the Rosalinda’s Gentlemen’s Club and adjacent motel on Highway 108.

The Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office says the fire originated in the motel and spread to the strip club. Clarke Broadcasting was notified by a community news partner driving by the scene early this morning that there was a man receiving considerable law enforcement attention shortly after the fire started.

CHP Officer Faustino Pulido confirms that one person was located nearby, about ½ mile west of the business, and questioned by CHP officers, along with the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office, but the man was not arrested.

CAL Fire spokesperson Emily Kilgore notes that the cause of the fire is still “under investigation.”
