Transgender thief at Maryland Saks? Fox5 files a smarmy news report [video]

”On the surface, it seems kind of funny! A man, and that’s certainly what it looks like to the investigating detective, walks into Saks in a short skirt and sandals, he — she? — picks out a very expensive dress, and tries to leave. But then it turns violent. Just before 8 o’clock last Thursday night, this woman — or is it a man? — police aren’t absolutely sure, walked into Saks Fifth Avenue on Wisconsin Avenue carrying a large bag.”

Paul Wagner, a WTTG Fox 5 news correspondent, describing a shoplifting case at Saks 5th Avenue on Wisconsin Avenue in Chevy Chase. According to the report, the suspect allegedly tried to steal a $2,400 Chanel dress, and then pepper sprayed a security guard before escaping. (Fox 5)
