Two man dressed as Woman Arrested for Identity Theft
In Flowood Mississippi police arrested two men, who were both dressed as woman, after they attempted to make purchases with a prepaid credit card without showing identification. Marcus Chapman, 22 and 37-year-old Charlie Harvey refused to show their identification when trying to make a purchase, this alarmed the clerk who called the police.
According to police the two men first went to Walgreens and then to Radio Shack. The police thought at first that these two were trying to disguise their identity by dressing up as woman. As it turns out it’s a lifestyle choice for the two of them and it had nothing to do with concealing their identity.
The police recovered the credit cards on Chapman that had the name of a Greenville woman, who told authorities she had never owned a credit card. Police are unsure how Chapman obtained the card or how it was made. An attorney of one of the defendants says it was found in a discarded wallet in an office complex. Police think this is an unlikely story. Police have charged Chapman with identity theft and Charlie Harvey with accessory to identity theft.
