Man accidentally shoots self at gun show
FRANKLIN, N.J., Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Police in New Jersey said a man cross-dressed in his mother's clothes attempted to withdraw $700 from her bank account.
Investigators said Tita Nyambi, 25, of Franklin, was wearing his mother's pink blouse, her black coat and head scarf when he pulled into a Franklin Chase Bank's drive-thru lane at 1:22 p.m. Monday, The (Newark) New Jersey Star-Ledger reported Wednesday.
Detective Brian Stillwell said Nyambi tried to speak in a high-pitched voice and gave a teller his mother's driver's license and a withdrawal slip bearing a forged version of his mother's signature.
Bank employees called police and said a man was attempting to withdraw money from a woman's account.
Nyambi was arrested and charged with offenses including third-degree forgery and attempted theft by deception.
