Pittsburgh man wearing a blond wig, fake breasts, and clown pants was arrested after he allegedly robbed a bank at gunpoint.

Swissvale police chief, Greg Geppert, said Dennis Hawkins, 48, shoplifted a BB gun from a local Kmart, and then used it during the heist.

The suspect allegedly fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of money.

Shortly after police were called to investigate the robbery, they received a tip from a nearby gas station that a man fitting the description was attempting to steal a car, reports CBS affiliate KDKA.

Hawkins, apparently covered in red dye from an exploding dye pack, allegedly entered a woman's parked car. She quickly got out of the vehicle, took her keys, and alerted authorities.

Police arrived at the gas station to find Hawkins still sitting inside the vehicle.

"He would get my nomination for dumbest criminal, I think. Yeah, definitely different," said Swissvale Police Chief Greg Geppert, according to KDKA. "I mean, with the wig on, you still have his black facial hair with a blondish wig, definitely different."

The bandit with unique fashion sense is now being held on $230,000 bail.

As bright as this dude appears to be he probably heard the lock click as the owner locked the doors with the remote and figured he couldn’t get out.....

Count the red flags in this story.

He was just sitting there, covered with anti-theft dye, in the attempted-stolen vehicle, waiting for the police? This guy wants to go back to prison where he probably feels more comfortable with three squares, a roof, and a bed.

Welcome to zer0land where there are no jobs, no hope, and only pocket change.

And fake breasts. Can't forget the fake breasts.

[TheOldLady]

I did forget that, and the wig too. Yes, he will be very popular, so you can see why he wants to go back.

Clown pants, huh? Must have been raiding Michelle Obama's closet.

 

Too bad for him he's now in jail. That wig and them fake boobs will definitely make him the most popular fellow there.

It's a shame there wasn't a woman with her real hair, real pants, real breasts, and a real gun there to permanently end this moron's criminal career.
