AUGUSTA, GA (WFXG) -

A troubled Augusta club is being forced to close its doors for the near future.

Club Fiesco has had its share of problems over the last 18 months, including underage drinking and a shooting outside the club that left a man dead on New Year's Eve.

On Tuesday, the Richmond Co. Commission voted to suspend the club's liquor and business licenses for 90 days.

The club will then be on probation for one year.
