A 33-year-old American man from Florida wanted for stealing a boat and vehicle tried to evade police by disguising himself as a woman, but his plan failed.
Joshua Kolotka was seen leaving a house in an unusual outfit as police investigated a theft of a boat and a sport utility vehicle (SUV) in Lakeport.
“They saw Joshua Kolotka come out of a residence disguised as a woman in an attempt to go incognito,” the Glades County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, picked up by the “Daily Mail” on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old was immediately arrested at the scene and held without bail in the Glades County jail, said authorities, who found several other items likely stolen by the suspect at the scene.
In the photo published by the Glades County Sheriff’s Office and taken up by the American media, we can see the handcuffed suspect wearing a blonde wig, a little blue dress, a white jacket and sunglasses.
The look of the thief inspired Internet users who went all out to comment on this unusual fact on social networks, like this user who wrote: “Thank you for being inclusive, diversity is important, even in the criminal world.
