Maine police are searching for a cross-dressing motorist who has been jumping out of his car to display his sexy ladies’ underwear to female drivers. The suspect, who has a mustache, typically leaps out of his car dressed in panties, a garter belt, and black high-heeled boots, and strikes a pose in front of a female motorist’s car, forcing her to swerve around him. “The behavior is not necessarily criminal in terms of dress,” said Sheriff Mark Dion, but the man’s unsafe behavior “seems to suggest to us we have to talk to him.”

Halliwell “felt Victoria was really insensitive to her isolation,” says the source.
