Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On March 5th, the Milwaukee Common Council Licenses Committee voted unanimously for non-renewal of a business license to Francisco Vargas Flores Jr., the agent for World Class Tattoos, which operated the Tattoo and Body Piercing shop at the 3100 block of S. 27 Street in the Southside of Milwaukee. The Licenses Committee denied the renewal "based on the preponderance of the evidence in the police report, the aldermanic and applicant testimony that demonstrates the operation results in threat to health, safety or welfare of the public. There were no objections. (Prevailed 5-0)", according to the Licenses Committee minutes. (Link: https://tinyurl.com/394dhyyn)
Flores Jr., 44, was criminally charged on December 20, 2023 with four felony counts for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. If convicted, Flores Jr. is facing up to 10 years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines, or both for each count. Flores Jr. remains free on a $10,000 signature bond, according to court records.
According to the Licenses Committee hearing, Police Captain Eric Pfeiffer from District 6 testified that Milwaukee police "received information that the business was involved with narcotics traffic and that they had firearms" at the Tattoo and Body Piercing business and a search warrant was executed by the Violent Crimes Reduction Team after it found enough evidence to go forth with the search warrant on April 21, 2023, police located multiple firearms in the two level building where the tattoo business operated and found marijuana in a vehicle adjacent to the business.
