The tales of the infamous “Florida Man” struck again during the holiday season in, of all places, Holiday, Florida.
The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office down in Holiday, Florida is looking for the suspect of a gas station robbery, according to WPTV.

If you look closely at the picture of the suspect, you’ll notice something that has the Sheriff’s Office possible more intrigued in wrapping up this investigation…THE SUSPECT DREW ON A BEARD.
The suspect, who is being described as a heavy-set white male in his 30s or 40s, was sporting a drawn on beard, red bandanna, long dark hair, and a green military-style jumpsuit. He left the scene in a tan or brown Toyota cab truck.
As of 9:23 am EST on Thursday, it was unknown if the suspect left with money and thankfully, no injuries were reported.
New information is slowly rolling out as the day goes on including what could become a twist: the witness statements described the suspect as male, but the Sheriff’s office is now saying the suspect may be a man OR woman.
Just to clarify, the previous description was based on witness statements that the suspect was a male. pic.twitter.com/1jDtThD9Bz

@PlascenciaRene @PascoSheriff @KarenMKunkle @crimestopperstb whatever it is it's drawn on… Even may be a woman

@LadyrebelFL @PlascenciaRene @PascoSheriff @crimestopperstb You know, you are right. It could be a woman. Good eyes.
@PascoSheriff @crimestopperstb I think it's a woman trying very hard to look like a man. Hiding her hair, wearing coveralls, painted beard.
