This is all I could find. I can't find where the photo came from...

WESLEY CHAPEL - A man dressed as a woman robbed a bank Wednesday afternoon, crashed during his getaway on Interstate 75, then carjacked a Chevy Cavalier with the driver inside, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office reported.
The robber jumped out of the carjacked car in Tampa, leaving the woman who was driving unharmed, the sheriff's office reported.

The robbery happened about 12:40 p.m. when the man, wearing a black dress and a wig, entered SunTrust Bank at 34511 State Road 54.

He apparently did not have a weapon, the sheriff's office reported. Officials did not say how much money he took.

After the robbery, the man fled in a tan Mercury Sable south on I-75.

His escape was delayed when he ran a red light at the end of an exit ramp at State Road 56 and hit a Volkswagen, a Florida Highway Patrol report states.

The driver and a passenger in the Volkswagen suffered minor injuries, the highway patrol reported.

The man jumped out of his car, flagged down the Chevy Cavalier, which was headed east on State Road 56, and carjacked the Cavalier and the woman driving it, the highway patrol and the sheriff's office reported.

The man left the woman and her car at Sligh Avenue and Interstate 275 in Tampa, the sheriff's office reported.

The Tampa Police Department then became involved in the hunt for the man. He was on foot when he left the woman's car, but investigators say he might have gotten in another vehicle, Tampa police spokesman Joe Durkin said.
