Female drivers in the Portland area should be wary... of a mustachioed man in women's underwear, a garter belt, a camisole and black high-heel boots.
This 5'11, thin build, unidentified Caucasian male has a penchant for cutting off lone female drivers, then jumping out in front of their cars while strutting his stuff. Yup, he's too sexy for road hazards.
There have been six such reports over the past several months, with the women having to swerve to avoid hitting Tootsie.
Cumberland Sheriff Mark Dion says that,
The behavior 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. The cross-dressing is definitely an item of curiosity, however if he were doing this in a pair of blue jeans and a T-shirt we would still want to talk to him.
Portland Press Herald staff report that the first incident occurred in April and the most recent incident occurred just a week ago, both in the town of Standish. Police initially thought this was a college prank, but have since started to take more serious interest in the case. One of his victims was able to get a good look, and police issued a composite, which in my opinion needed more illustrative embellishing.
In further news, Leksi thinks people need to find better hobbies than jumping out in front of traffic whilst scantily clad, in the middle of an Oregan winter.
