Authorities said employees at the strip club and neighbouring businesses rescued the baby after hearing her cries and then called police.
The club's employees said they became suspicious after noticing Dargin leave the venue every 15 minutes on the afternoon of March 9 and then returning.
Local news reports said he was in the middle of a lap dance when the club's manager informed him that his child had been found.
