A man who dressed as a woman to rob a Tarpon Springs bank last month was arrested today in Corpus Christi, Texas, police said.
U.S. Marshal Service special agents arrested Dorian Deon White, 32, at a homeless shelter where he was staying under an alias.
Police say White robbed the Bank of America, 2551 Tarpon Woods Blvd., on Nov. 6.
Pinellas County sheriff's detectives say White was dressed as a woman in a purple dress with black tights, a black wig and makeup, when he walked into the bank and implied he had a gun. He was given an undisclosed amount of money. No one was hurt.
The suspect then fled the bank on foot to a nearby neighborhood, where he forced someone to drive him to Philippe Park in Safety Harbor. The person was released unharmed, and the suspect was last seen in the park on foot.
White was arrested on three warrants for bank robbery, kidnapping and burglary of an occupied dwelling.
