Crossdressing suspect sought for Southside armed robbery

Jacksonville Police are looking for a crossdressing suspect who held up a Southside Arby’s at gunpoint.

JSO responded to an Arby’s on Philips Highway, just off Southside Blvd Thursday night. The suspect, pictured in surveillance to the left, apparently entered the business and stopped in the bathroom before approaching the counter.  He then pulled a gun from his purse while demanding money, jumped the counter to take the money, and then fled.

He was seen getting in to a dark sedan, although police do not know what make or model the car is. The suspect is described as a black male, 6’2”, 160 lbs with a thin mustache. He was wearing red lipstick, a wig with long straight black hair, a white long sleeve blouse, blue jeans and a red purse.

If you have any information about the suspect you're asked to contact JSO at 904-630-0500 or JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org. You can also submit an anonymous tip and be eligible for a $3,000 reward by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
