A homeless man wearing a blond wig, makeup, pearls and high heels has been arrested for allegedly trying to snatch an 11-year-old boy from outside his Ohio home, cops said.
Joshua Freyermuth, 39, is accused of approaching the boy and his dog outside the home in Alliance, southeast of Akron, on Sunday and trying to lure him away — just days after he was cut loose following a drug bust, WOIO reported .
“I need to talk to you,” Freyermuth allegedly told the boy, according to the police report.

When the boy refused to go near him, Freyermuth — who police say sometimes goes by Vicky and had makeup smeared across his face in his mugshot — allegedly tried to grab the child, cops said.
The boy managed to break away and the alleged perp fled, according to police.
