A Kansas City man has been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison for robbing a bank dressed as a woman.

Joshua J. Parker, 20, Kansas City, Mo., pleaded guilty to two counts of bank robbery.

In his plea, he admitted that on Oct. 21, 2011, he entered the U.S. Bank at 6940 Mission Road in Roeland Park, Kansas.

He pushed aside a customer at the counter, jumped on the counter and said, “I’m back.”

The teller recognized him as the person who robbed the bank two months earlier.

 

There were at least two other robberies by cross-dressing bandits in the Kansas City area in 2011, including a third robbery at the same Roeland Park location in July.

In the October robbery, Parker fled the bank in a Chrysler Sebring. When officers forced the car to stop near West 65th Street and Overbrook, Parker ran from the vehicle, wearing only black shorts and socks. He ran north through backyards and a low-lying creek bed, where he was arrested.
