INVESTIGATION: A Troubling Past for A Tattoo Artist in San Jose; Possible Violations at Club Fiesta?

Some people may have known as the moniker named "Huss Baby", but her actual real name is Stephanie Smith. A tattoo artist herself at a shop known as Ambitious Ink, she is known to have supported people and other organizations like DJ Rick Lee and Go Der Magazine. But my investigative blog which started taking place about a year ago uncovers disturbing evidence of Smith in trouble with law enforcement in the past, as well as her ties with Go Der Magazine and the Club Fiesta nightclub.

Police in San Benito County and Santa Clara County has disputed what Smith does in her downtime, according to several sources on various websites and social media sources. Both KSBW and KION have reported on her arrest publicly. 

The latest arrest came in July 2014 when Smith, who reportedly resides in Milpitas, along with two others, were involved in a home invasion robbery. The other two suspects were also named in the reports; they are Monique Marie Valle of San Jose and David Andrew Hinnen of Sacramento. It is unclear if Smith was the getaway driver of the unnamed vehicle or the relationship that Smith has to both Valle and Hinnen. Smith is known to have a lot of tattoos on her face, body, arm, and hand, which can be seen publicly. Two of her photos that she posted on Facebook are now visible on Crime Voice's website, as well as on various local news webpages.

However, this is not the first time that Smith ran into trouble with the law - the first arrest actually have surfaced of in March 2014 via a message posted on YouTube. Some of her social media pages have since gone private, making the public unable to see her photos in some cases.

It is also unclear whether Smith also had marijuana or illegal drugs in her body system. Social media pages uncovered her ties with festivals that were promoting marijuana and other illegal drugs such as at local "Hempcons" or "Hempfests", which those are shows or festivals related to marijuana. Smith, along with other artists like Baby Bash (Ronnie Rey), also have surfaced on various social media, but particularly Go Der Magazine and Go Der Digital.

I also uncovered that Go Der Magazine itself may also be under the microscope for another YouTube post showing smoking inside Club Fiesta in San Jose. Under current local laws in San Jose, the city prohibits smoking within 25 feet of the entrance to doors or windows of any business. My review of the YouTube video posted by Go Der Magazine shows that Club Fiesta could be facing major violations for allowing patrons to smoke in serious violation of both city and state laws. Many cities and in rural areas of Santa Clara County passed an ordinance regulating e-cigarettes, thanks to in part by Santa Clara County supervisor Dave Cortese and his fellow supervisors, which the ordinance was announced on June 10, 2014.

In comparison to local San Jose city laws and state laws, both Hong Kong and Singaporean law has extremely low tolerance for tobacco and drug use. In Hong Kong, their most severe punishment for drug use and/or drug consumption, including marijuana is a lifetime prison sentence. In Singapore, the punishment does vary from several years in prison (including several strokes of the cane) to the mandatory death penalty (also known in Singapore as "sentenced to death" in their terms).

It is not clear whether Club Fiesta in San Jose has any history of serious violations of local, county, and state laws for not only tobacco use, but also alcohol use as well. Other than Go Der Digital, which also provides YouTube videos to the public, no local media were allowed to enter Club Fiesta due to heavy security. In addition, the Club Fiesta website and on social media did not disclose to the public on the issue of the dress code except for the event posters posted on various social media sites.

NOTE: No photos from any social media sites were posted due to privacy concerns.
