Wal-Mart Bust A Real Drag

SEPTEMBER 21--On Saturday morning, Paris, Kentucky police received a call from a local Wal-Mart reporting that three black females were trying to pass stolen checks. When the trio became concerned that store employees might be contacting cops, they fled, only to be apprehended nearby. Officers discovered that the trio possessed numerous stolen checks, hot merchandise, altered drivers licenses, and penises. Seems that their disguises--purses, makeup, earrings, wigs, pink cell phones, etc.--were intended to shield the alleged crooks from detection by law enforcement. Though, judging by the mug shots on the following pages, it is unclear whom they actually fooled. Pictured below is arrestee Jacques Ransom, 32. Co-defendants Aaron Alexander, 31, and Eric Dawson, 23, can be seen on the following pages. The cross-dressers are being held in the Bourbon Detention Center, where they have been unable to make bail on a variety of criminal possession of a forged instrument charges. (4 pages)
