Police cite cross-dressing Pa. man chained in car

(CBS/AP) UNIONTOWN, Pa. - Police say a man who was dressed as a woman chained himself inside his car while parked outside a drug store, as he tried to work up the courage to go into the store to buy his wife a drink.

Bet you never read that sentence before.

The allegedly self-chained cross-dresser was cited for "causing a public alarm" by Uniontown, Pa. police.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that police were called to a Walgreen's store about 11:20 p.m. Sunday when someone reported seeing the 28-year-old man chained inside the car.

When the cops arrived, the man told them he had restrained himself because he had come to buy his wife a drink at the store, but found it difficult to work up the courage to enter the store dressed as a woman. A police report says the suspect chained himself "to build himself up to going into the store dressed like a woman."

The man is charged with disorderly conduct.
