Cops: Cross-dressing man tried to shoplift lingerie

A man dressed in women’s clothing who allegedly tried to shoplift women’s lingerie from a store was reportedly able to escape after he “became sick,” according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.

The incident happened about 4:20 p.m. on Friday at Target on Whiskey Road, according to an incident report.

A loss prevention officer told police a man dressed in women’s clothing entered the store and began to shoplift a set of women’s panties, a lingerie top and a lingerie bottom.

The loss prevention officer began to escort the suspect to the loss prevention office, but the suspect “began to fight and then became sick,” the report stated. “During this time, the suspect was able to escape from the store and get into a black in color Dodge Magnum.”

The vehicle was last seen traveling south on Whiskey Road.

The suspect is described as a black male, about 5-foot-8 and weighing about 170 pounds.

Monty Python: Watch Mick Jagger send up Rolling Stones in hilarious video at …

Mick Jagger has taken a break from prancing around stage reliving the old days to have a playful pop at Monty Python for, er, prancing around on stage reliving the old days…

The 70-year-old rocker released a tongue-in-cheek video on the eve of the comedy show’s live gig at the O2 in London on Tuesday night mocking the stars John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones.

Jagger also has a dig at his own reputation for being frugal. In the sketch he is told the Rolling Stones’ lighting engineer is working on Python’s one-off run of 10 shows.

In a reply that could have been about the Stones themselves, he said: “Monty Python, are they still going?

“Ten shows, they will coin it in. I bet it is expensive. But, I mean, who wants to see that again?

“It was funny in the 60s. They are a bunch of wrinkly old men trying to relive their youth.

“I mean the best one died years ago. We’ve seen it all before, they’ve put it all up on YouTube.”

But the Python stars laughed off Jagger’s jibes. Idle, 71, said their fans wanted to see the classic sketches, just like Stones lovers turned up to their reunion gigs to hear great hits from all those years ago.

He added: “There are similarities. They want to see the parrot sketch, like you want to see Let’s Spend The Night Together.

“It would be odd to try to write better things than our best at this age.”

Jagger’s mick-taking video will not be shown at the Python gigs. But scientist Stephen Hawking makes an ­appearance. He will be in a video with Professor Brian Cox.

At a press conference in London, Idle said of Hawking: “He’s a big Python fan so he was asked if he would and within a minute he said yes.”

A different celebrity guest will also appear each night in a sketch called ­Blackmail.

Cleese, 74, said the show, which includes 10 male dancers and 10 female performers who writhe around in lingerie, costs around £4.5million to stage.

One source who saw a dress rehearsal at the weekend said it mixes live sketches with “lots of video and animation”.

Songs including I’m A Lumberjack and the dead parrot sketch will also feature.

 

The source added: “If you are a fan of Python you won’t be disappointed.”

It will be the goup’s first UK ­performance in more than 40 years. And they insist it will be their last.

Cleese revealed how he has been preparing. He said: “I’ve been sleeping a lot. I don’t feel so nervous. At our age if they have bought a ticket they like you.”

Idle added: “We wanted it to be energetic. We leap around. I am quite worn out even after the first number.”

Monty Python’s Flying Circus was a TV hit between 1969 and 1974. Sixth Python Graham Chapman died of cancer in 1989 aged 48.

• A new box set of the album Monty Python Sings (Again) featuring three unreleased songs and three new recordings, is out now.
