A grand jury in Richmond has indicted a man in two robberies in which the suspect dressed as a woman.



Indictments from the Madison County grand jury Wednesday charge 40-year-old Troy Noel Lear of Brodhead with two counts of first-degree robbery for holdups at a Berea bank and a hotel in Richmond.

Investigators told The Richmond Register that the robber in the bank heist showed a gun and an electronic stun device was the threat in the hotel robbery.

While the robber dressed as a female, police said witnesses knew he was a man.

Lear is held in the Madison County Detention Facility.
