Transgender bank robber convicted of stealing to fund sex change arrested again over bank robbery | Daily Mail Online
A transgender bank robber who was arrested for stealing to fund her sex change operations 11 years ago was arrested again last week over another raid - fresh from recent facial surgery.
Police in Gulfport, Mississippi, were called to a bank in the city after reports a woman walked into the building and passed a note to staff demanding money on March 22.
A suspect who gave her name as Iconic Facce was arrested last Saturday and it was revealed by police the women was born Jimmy Maurice Lewis II.
Lewis gained notoriety in 2008 when she reportedly held up a teller at the Alabama Credit Union in Decatur where she demanded $20,000, but made off with less than half that amount.
Prosecutors said she planned a series of raids to fund her gender reassignment surgery, according to Alabama Local.
From June 2007 to January 2008, Jimmy Maurice Lewis was said to have robbed banks by passing threatening notes in Cleveland, Decatur and Lenoir City in Tennessee.
She was arrested in 2008 in Los Angeles on arrival with a flight from Mexico when one of her aliases was spotted by border agents.
According to police reports, Lewis threatened the life of a teller, saying in a note: 'No games, no jokes and get your hands up. Don't mash any alarms. Don't move or she's had it.'
Lewis was sentenced to 51 months behind bars and probation for the robbery.
But 11 years later the 37-year-old was arrested again in Mississippi over allegations of robbery at the BancorpSouth Bank.
