posted 1:06 am Mon November 19, 2007 - Decatur
The FBI has changed the description of a suspect in a Decatur credit union robbery after deciding she's a he.
The suspect in the Alabama Credit Union robbery on November ninth initially was described as a black woman in her mid-40s.
But FBI spokesman Paul Daymond said yesterday agents now are searching for Jimmy Maurice Lewis, a 26-year-old post-operative transsexual with breast implants.
Lewis was released on bond after being charged in a June 28 robbery in Cleveland, Tennessee. According to news reports, police had found Lewis passed out in his Lincoln Navigator in a parking lot on August 23rd in Lenoir City, Tennessee.
Investigators on that case said Lewis was undergoing gender reassignment surgery. However, the FBI in a statement yesterday referred to Lewis as a "post-operative" transsexual.
Decatur Police Lieutenant Dennis Hughes said Lewis lives and dresses as a female and uses the aliases "Destinee J. Lewis" and "Christy Nicole Lewis."
Hughes said Lewis has tattoos of butterflies on his neck and back.
He has been known to travel between Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee in a silver Lincoln Navigator with Alabama registration 38J389A, according to the FBI.
The FBI said Alabama court records show that Lewis lived in Dothan in the late '90s, but his current address was not known.
