Cross-dressing traffic hazard sought

The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office is searching for a man who has a moustache and has been seen wearing women's underwear, a garter belt and black high-heel boots.

Since last spring, the sheriff's office has received six reports that a motorist wearing that outfit has pulled in front of female drivers, jumped out of his vehicle and modelled his attire in the road.

The women have had to swerve to avoid him, Sheriff Mark Dion said.



"The behaviour is not necessarily criminal in terms of dress, but the fact he's jumping out in roadways and apparently targeting females who are alone, driving their cars, seems to suggest to us we have to talk to him," Dion said.

Police initially suspected it was a college prank, but the incidents have continued and may be escalating. On Sunday, the woman reported that the man passed her and cut her off before jumping out into the road. The woman got a good look at the man and provided a description for a police composite sketch.

He is described as white, 5 feet 11 inches tall and in his late 20s or early 30s, with brown hair, a moustache and a thin build. Although the composite sketch shows a somewhat effeminate face, investigators say it is definitely a man.
