Police cite cross-dressing Pa. man chained in car

UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Police have cited a man for disorderly conduct for allegedly chaining himself inside his car while parked outside a western Pennsylvania drug store and dressed as a woman.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports today that Uniontown police were called to a Walgreen’s store about 11:20 p.m. Sunday when someone reported seeing the 28-year-old man chained inside the car.

When police arrived, the man told them he had restrained himself because he had come to buy his wife a drink at the store, but found it difficult to work up the courage to enter the store dressed as a woman. A police report says the suspect chained himself “to build himself up to going into the store dressed like a woman.”

The man his charged with disorderly conduct “for causing a public alarm.”
