Pretty soon, he’ll be singing “Jailhouse Rock”.

Actually this is pretty scary for the people who are working at the wine tasting rooms. Hope they catch him before he does it again and endangers those working out there..

No one would have an Elvis wig except an Elvis impersonator.

OK, somebody help me out here. The suspect supposedly wore an old man mask, an Elvis wig, blue latex gloves, apparently long-legged cargo pants, and a long-sleeved shirt. So, basically, every square inch of his body and skin was covered. Yet he is described as a “white male.”


What about his appearance leads the police, or anyone else, to conclude that he is a “white male.” Oh, well- OK, maybe underneath all that covering he had “an olive complexion”, in which case, of course, that would make him “a white male”, right?
