Cross-dressing man gets police attention

PORTLAND – The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a man with a mustache who is pulling in front of female drivers and then jumping out of his vehicle while wearing women’s underwear, a garter belt and black high-heel boots.

Since last spring, there have been six reports about the cross-dressing motorist. The most recent incident was last Sunday. The episodes have occurred in the Standish-Buxton area.

Sheriff Mark Dion said that while the man’s behavior may not be criminal in terms of dress, the fact that he’s jumping out in roadways and apparently targeting women who are alone is cause for concern.

The sheriff said women have had to swerve to avoid the man.
