I'm more concerned that the Police get a call saying a group of drunken men are getting rowdy in a pub and they send a female Police officer alone to deal with it?

Police Officers often have to go alone to incidents. Sounds like she dealt with it okay.

Nature of the job unfortunately. A job came in and she may well have been the closest to it, or the only person who was available to deal with it. Chances are there were other officers on the way as well, but what is she meant to do in the mean time, sit outside and wait? That would have looked great if things did turn nasty in the pub, all the while "the police" are sat outside.
I happened to be about 200 yards from a pub once, just as a call came in to say it was kicking off inside. I was on my own, I walked in and it was like the sort of scene you'd see on television; broken chairs everywhere, glass smashed all over the place, not a single table that wasn't upturned, people arguing, crying, screaming and bleeding. I ended up surrounded by three angry blokes, back up wasn't very close and I needed to assess injuries and arrange ambulances, not deal with people who can't handle their drink. That said I don't see what the alternative was? The only way I can see to improve that situation would be to double crew officers at all times, but the public don't like that, so it's not done.
Going back to the story in the OP, I can't help but think that the articles haven't described the situation accurately. I very much doubt that the bloke was locked up simply for being a bit jovial towards her. I can only assume he was being a complete pain in the backside whilst she was trying to deal with something, hence being locked up for obstruct police.

Well, that would make a good film plot if nothing else....
That doesn't stop it being a shitty thing to do. If it's a shitty thing to do to someone who isn't a stripper, it's still a shitty thing to do to someone who is. Strippers are people too, you know. Only difference is he didn't know he was doing it to someone who could arrest him for it. Not a huge amount of sympathy from me, I'm afraid.

That'd still be a pretty shitty way to treat a real stripper.
In what way ?
The police should get some common sense as well as a sense of humour.
I have nothing but sympathy for the poor sod being fined.
Why? He behaved like a complete ********...
Frankly I'm embarrassed he's the same sex as me.
Who would have thought it? You two blaming the actions of a drunken imbecile on the Police Officer.
I'm sure he did too.
He thought she was a stripper
You can't do that to a stripper, it's worrying that you think it makes a difference.
I hope that is some attempt at a joke, and not a serious comment.
But alas it was not a light hearted "oopsie" moment, just a prick being a prick.

Along with me being thrown out of the window as everybody else arrives, it would be a sell out.
