A Miami dancer has been arrested after she allegedly returned to a club she formerly worked at and attacked a manager and other workers with a pole, police allege.
23-year-old Princess Aaliyah Bell was arrested on Monday, April 27 on charges of aggravated battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, resisting an officer without violence, and giving a false name or identification, according to online jail records viewed by PEOPLE.
In an arrest affidavit, police allege that Bell went to the Taboo by G5 Nightclub to collect her belongings after being fired from the club, and began "battering staff and causing a disturbance."
PEOPLE reached out to the North Miami Beach Police Department, but did not immediately receive a response.
Once inside the club, the affidavit alleges that Bell began arguing with other dancers, running around, throwing items, and using profanity. Police say she was escorted from the building and later returned with a 7-foot pole, injuring a security guard and a manager at the club.
Neither victim was identified by name.
Police allege that Bell fled the scene before officers arrived, but she was later located at a nearby gas station, per the affidavit. When authorities initially attempted to apprehend her, it led to a brief foot pursuit.

The affidavit further alleges that Bell gave arresting officers the name of her older sister. She was later identified when her actual ID, with her name and photo, were located inside her phone case. She “refused” to get out of the police vehicle, and had to be “dragged” into the area where fingerprints were done at the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Warrants Bureau, the affidavit alleges.
NBC Miami shared footage of Bell’s court hearing before Judge Mindy Glazer on Tuesday, April 28 afternoon in which Glazer told Bell she was being held without bond due to an out-of-state fugitive warrant from Georgia, along with an in-state warrant.
Bell entered a plea of not guilty on April 28, and waived an arraignment hearing, according to online records viewed by PEOPLE.
