A lawsuit alleges the lodge and two former members are responsible for battery and elder abuse in Cinco de Mayo assault.
An 80-year-old man whose beating at the Redondo Beach Elks Lodge was captured on video is suing the lodge and two of its former members.
Neither Nashana Steele, who has resigned from her position as exalted ruler and no longer attends the Redondo Beach lodge, nor Lamont Steele, whom the Elks have permanently banished, returned phone calls seeking comment. Founded in 1868, the BPOE has nearly 1 million members who gather at 2,000 lodges across the U.S. and abroad. The Elks provide charitable services aimed at building stronger communities, sponsoring college scholarships, youth basketball teams, drug awareness programs and the like.
Lordeon, a real estate agent, was handed a plate, helped himself to some salad from a buffet table and started to walk away. However, Nashana Steele blocked Lordeon and ordered him to leave the lodge because she was upset that he was wearing a Donald Trump hat, the lawsuit states. Lordeon can be seen in the video having what appears to be a heated discussion with Nashana Steele.
