More details on the current Vince McMahon tanning situation have been revealed, including comments from a customer that was at the location the same time as McMahon was.
According to an article in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the incident took place on Saturday, not Sunday at the Tanzabar Tanning Salon in Boca Raton. Comments from a customer that was at the scene of the incident, Kelly McMahon (no relation to Vince) commented that Vince was in fact there.
Kelly McMahon stated, "He was nothing but a gentleman. He shook my hand three times." Kelly claims her and Vince were engaged in a conversation about their shared last name. She also stated that "He showed no signs of coming on to [the employee]. He was talking to me. She was trying to interrupt our conversation." Kelly also states in the article that she didn't realize Vince was famous until she later spoke to her husband.
Also in the article it quotes WWE attorney, Jerry McDevitt, who states that Boca Raton Police told him the alleged incident happened on Sunday, and that McDevitt had pointed out to them that Vince McMahon was not in town that day (Sunday). McDevitt did confirm to the Sun-Sentinel that Vince was in town Saturday, and has been a Tanzabar customer in the past.

Wrestling star Vince McMahon accused of groping Boca tanning salon worker[/size]
Boca Raton -- Wrestling personality Vince McMahon could be facing a legal smackdown.
An employee at Tanzabar Tanning Salon, 499 N. Federal Highway, told Boca Raton police that the chief executive of World Wrestling Entertainment tried to get a little too raw on Saturday, showing her pictures of himself in the buff before kissing and groping her.
McMahon, 60, is best known for running the WWE and for the character he plays on several WWE shows including SmackDown and Raw and on pay-per-view events such as Royal Rumble and WrestleMania.
His on-air persona is often arrogant and vengeful.
The shows are a sort of family affair for McMahon, who has feuded publicly with his son and daughter. McMahon even asked his wife for a divorce on television, and in a later show kissed a female wrestler in front of her.
On Sunday, the 22-year-old Tanzabar employee told police that she led McMahon to tanning room No.3 and that McMahon asked if she could use his camera phone to take his picture.
She obliged and then gave the camera phone back to McMahon, who then showed her nude and semi-nude photos of himself on the camera phone, the police report shows.
According to the report, the woman asked McMahon to stop.
Once the 20-minute session was over, McMahon talked to her again, she told police. She walked over to the tanning suite and McMahon followed, closed the door and tried kissing her, she told police. She pushed McMahon away as he tried to lift up her shirt, she said.
Kelly McMahon, a Tanzabar customer who is not related to the wrestler, said McMahon was quite different with her on Saturday.
"He was nothing but a gentleman. He shook my hand three times," Kelly McMahon said Wednesday. "He showed no signs of coming on to [ the employee ]. He was talking to me. She was trying to interrupt our conversation."
They spoke briefly about their shared last name and their backgrounds, Kelly McMahon said.
"I didn't realize he was famous until I spoke with my husband," she said.
McMahon's attorney, Jerry McDevitt, said Boca Raton police told him this happened Sunday.
"We pointed out that it's not even possible because he was not in town that day," said McDevitt, who confirmed that McMahon was in town Saturday and has been a Tanzabar customer.
Boca Raton police have to get McMahon's side of the story before prosecutors determine whether there is enough evidence to file charges.
