None of these arrests should count. The whole Love Boat thing was bulls!!t. There is no reason to arrest guys for having strippers at a party. Pretty much every guy I know has been involved in a stripper party at some point. I do not know any that have ever been arrested.

I wonder if the dude looked at Caleb and said "Fuck you Eddie." A little humor from Eddie Murphy Raw.
