Bronx stripper named Santa snared in jiggle-joint cocaine blizzard: cops
Santa Estevez (l.), 28, is arraigned Friday in Manhattan Supreme Court.

She's been naughty this year.
A curvy stripper named Santa was the last of six Sin City Cabaret dancers to be netted in an undercover drug buying sting announced by authorities this week.
Santa Estevez, 28, was released on her own recognizance Friday after she went before a judge in Manhattan Supreme Court wearing a form-fitting gray sweatsuit and long cornrows.
"I've never had any problems in my life," Estevez told the Daily News, shaking her head as she left the courtroom after her arraignment on drug sale charges.

Estevez, shielding her face with her sweatshirt hood, suggested the cops had a mixup but declined to say who she thought she was mistaken for at the Bronx adult hotspot which has catered to celebrities including Odell Beckham Jr., 50 Cent, Rob Kardashian and T-Pain.
"They're confusing me," she added.

Assistant District Attorney Erik Aho said Estevez participated in the sale of cocaine to an undercover investigator "who is posing as a patron at that club."
She allegedly worked with fellow jiggle joint worker Rosanna Debrooks to get the drugs to the would-be buyer.
"This defendant retrieved cocaine from a back room … (and) returned to the main room" to pass the package off to Debrooks, the prosecutor said.
Debrooks then gave Estevez her cut of the profits, Aho said.
Prosecutors asked for $7,500 bail on Estevez but she was released by Justice Neil Ross.
Estevez's lawyer Glenn Hardy said Estevez has a clean criminal record and four children — ages 13, 9, 3 and 10 months.
"I would ask that she be released on her own recognizance," Hardy said.
Estevez is one of 10 defendants — all but one are employees and dancers — charged in several indictments in connection to a long-term probe at the club.
Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan said the crew worked to sell $22,000 worth of blow to undercover cops.
There were nearly two dozen sales beginning in December 2014, authorities said.
The club was still open Thursday night, and owner Gus Drakopoulos is trying to make the most of the situation. He posted a Daily News mockup on his Instagram page, with the caption, "All publicity is good publicity!"

Strippers busted for selling $22G of coke out of South Bronx club to undercover cops
Strippers busted for selling cocaine out of South Bronx club
The patrons made it rain and the strippers made it snow at a jiggle joint in the South Bronx, police said Thursday.
Sin City Cabaret, frequented by big shots like Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., TV personality Rob Kardashian and rappers 50 Cent and T-Pain, really lived up to its name. Nine bouncers and dancers sold $22,000 worth of cocaine to undercover cops, authorities said.
Vice detectives said they bought the coke from the Sin City employees on nearly two dozen occasions since December 2014. In some instances, the suspects sold individual doses rolled in dollar bills for the marked-up price of $100, according to Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan.

“The dancers and the waitresses would go up to customers and whisper in their ear that they had drugs to sell,” a source told the Daily News. “It was common knowledge ... that people were dealing drugs in the club for years: coke, weed, Molly, you name it.”

Padilla, sporting platinum hair in a bun and tan jail scrubs, was held on $50,000 bail after appearing in Manhattan Supreme Court. The 29-year-old cried throughout the proceeding as prosecutors told a judge she’d sold coke to cops seven times.
Padilla’s sister-in-law, Cristal Peña, said the charges came as a shock.

“She’s this giant sweetheart, but she can be dumb,” Peña, 21, said.
Three bouncers — Isaac Flores, Charles (Trouble) Percell and Janae Ellis — were also arrested, as well as a ninth defendant, Pamela Contreras, who lived with one of the dancers and allegedly served as the coke supplier.

De la Rosa, 29, and Contreras, 28, were accused of making the largest drug sales, including at a McDonald’s parking lot in Norwood. Police arrested Contreras as she was selling 200 grams of nose candy to an undercover cop for $11,500, papers charged.
The club uses its Instagram page to promote “chicken wings and booty,” $8,000 bottles of Moet champagne and a “cash cannon” that makes it rain. The page features twerking dancers and smiling celebrities.
The operator of the strip club, Gus Drakopoulos, was investigated but not charged in connection with the bust, law enforcement sources said. He pleaded guilty in 2002 to insider trading. He was barred from owning a business with a liquor license because of his criminal past — but runs the place anyway, a police source said. The club is in his mother’s name.
Feds seize 52 kilos of coke stuffed in fake yuccas in the Bronx
Sin City remains open and can serve alcohol — though the state is seeking to revoke its liquor license. On Thursday night, two topless dancers greeted patrons, who had to pass through a metal detector.
“Yeah, they really f---ed up,” one dancer said of those under arrest. “It was crazy. ... There were some undercover cops and they busted them.”
The NYPD has initiated a nuisance abatement action against the club — a legal tactic used by cops to shutter problem properties.
“This is not a real bad club, and it’s caught up in something that is not really reflective of how they operate,” said Drakopoulos’ attorney, Martin Mehler.
