Do Not Pull A Gun On the Giant Cross-Dressing Prostitute

Rufus Bowman (left) thought he could rip off any prostitute in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, so he allegedly solicited the services of a tall person wearing heels and a halter top. Too bad that person was a one Joshua Bumpus, a 6-foot-1 290-pound cross-dressing sex worker, so when Bowman (5-foot-7, 230-pounds) pulled a gun in the alley, the two men brawled, Bumpus got shot in the arm but continued fighting, and ended up beating the shit out of Bowman before a gaggle of other street walkers gathered ’round and flagged down a cop. Says county prosecutor Ryan Nelson: Bowman “picked the wrong prostitute to rob.” Yessir.
