Two Drug Enforcement Administration agents, Glen Glover (left) and David Polos, illegally worked double duty by operating a New Jersey strip club on the side, federal prosecutors charged Wednesday.

David Polos and Glen Glover face up to five years in prison for not disclosing they’d bought Twins Plus Go-Go Lounge in South Hackensack in 2010, authorities said.

The pair of federal drug investigators refused to disclose that they were running a New Jersey strip joint because they wanted to keep secret their sordid double lives, a Manhattan prosecutor said Tuesday.

“The evidence will show that these lies were not mistakes. They were not accidents,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Monteleoni.

Benjamin Venegas, left, and Raphael Carrion were charged after a bloody brawl outside the Twins Plus Go-Go Lounge owned by two DEA agents.

Glover and Polos are each charged with conspiracy and making false statements for submitting national security forms in 2011 that stated they had no outside employment.
The drug-fighting duo were in fact running an exotic club where drug use was rife and dancers — many of whom were illegal immigrants — engaged in sex acts with their clients, prosecutors say.

David Polos’ lawyer described him as a “devoted, dedicated die-hard DEA agent” who merely invested about $20,000 into Glover’s club.

“The defendants lived a double life,” Monteleoni said. “It wasn’t enough for them to work in law enforcement. They also wanted to run an adult club on the side.”
The feds say Glover, a civilian DEA employee from West Nyack, L.I., was in charge of the club. His Lyndhurst, N.J.-based pal Polos, a former assistant special agent in charge, often swaggered around the mammary mecca flashing his DEA badge and gun. The married Polos also dated a Brazilian dancer who was in the country illegally, prosecutors said.
But Polos’ lawyer Marc Mukasey described him as a “devoted, dedicated die-hard DEA agent” who merely invested about $20,000 into Glover’s club but didn’t work there.
“It was a good little hobby, a good way to blow off steam and maybe an investment that would make a little money,” Mukasey said.

DEA agent Glen Glover, Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Monteleoni charges that the pair intentionally misled the Drug Enforcement Administration about their stake in the Twins Plus Go-Go Lounge in South Hackensack.

“Investing in a bar and showing up and doing some tasks around the bar is not outside employment,” the lawyer added.
Glover’s lawyer Cathy Fleming also argued that her client’s stake in the bar did not constitute as employment.
“These guys were not tending bar. They were not washing dishes. They were not cooking food,” Fleming said. “They were not doing any more than sweat equity.”
Glover and Polos were arrested in May 2015. Glover has been placed on an indefinite suspension; Polos retired shortly before he was arrested.
Barbra Roach, a DEA special agent who was in charge of policing employees’ backgrounds in 2011, testified that owning such an establishment made agents vulnerable to “blackmail” and “disclosing national security information.”

How is the joint Doing?

Indications are thet the returns from the flesh pandering business is not all it is cracked up to be, after all. Documents showed the agents complaining about warm beers, a bug infestation and a shortage of mop heads to clean the floors.
“I fixed the chair . . . can you tell [an unidentified person] to stop having sex with (a stripper) on the chair, it’s just not built to handle all the added weight,” one manager texted Glover in October 2011. In December 2011, Glover wrote to a co-manager: “It’s nice to see your (sic) not checking the lap dance rooms condoms everywhere.”
The feds said Glover, 45, of Lyndhurst, was in charge of the club. He is suspended from his job as a telecommunications specialist.
