It went something like this:
"I'm officer Raines from the Henry County Sherriff's Department. I am trying to locate Robert Martin."
"He was evicted last week, took my stove, is this what this is about?"
"No Sir, I'm trying to locate him and an unidentified woman who passed several bad checks. Do you know if he has a wife or girlfriend?"
(Laugh) "No, he has no wife. In fact....you say they passed some bad checks?"
"Yes"
"Well, I think Robert is your unidentified woman."
"Excuse me?"
"Robert is a transvestite. Did the person that took the check happen to mention if the man had one eye?"
"Why yes, he did."
"That's his roomate, Melvin, Robert wrote the check and Melvin posed as him because Robert dresses up like a woman and it would be easier for them to....pass back checks..."
Pause
"I see."
