Cross-Dressing Crook Robs Bank (dressed up as Whitney Houston)
WXIA-TV ATLANTA ^ | 1/7/2005 | Tracey Christensen

Posted on 01/07/2005 6:06:15 PM PST by avg_freeper

A cross-dressing crook who appeared to resemble pop diva Whitney Houston robbed a Wachovia Bank in Atlanta Friday. Surveillance cameras captured several images of the bandit, who wore a tan trench coat, black boots, and sunglasses.

The robber, who witnesses said was a man, entered the bank at 3019 Buford Highway about 11 a.m. through the lobby and approached the teller. He then produced a note that demanded money and specified that he had a weapon and would become violent if his demands were not met.

The teller gave the robber a bag of money and he immediately left the bank. The robber was described as a black male, 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches tall, weighing between 160 and 175 pounds, with a slender build. He wore black pants, black gloves, and a white scarf over a long black wig.

Anyone with information concerning the identity or whereabouts of the bank robber is asked to contact the FBI at 404-679-9000.

The fatal flaw in the crooks plan was dressing up as the pre-crack-head Whitney.

If people thought he looked like Whitney Houston, her looks have really taken a turn for the worse.
