A teen thought that a cross-dressing hooker would be an easy mark, found himself on the receiving end of a beating when he tried to rob him, according to an Oct. 26 story published in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Rufus Bowman, 16, targeted Joshua Bumpus as a robbery victim, luring him into an alley under the pretense of wanting to solicit his services. But Bumpus, who stands 6’ 1" and weighs 290 pounds according to jail records, wasn’t intimidated by the 5’ 7" youth, even though Bowman had a gun-and used it. Bowman shot Bumpus once, but that didn’t stop Bumpus, who wrested the gun from Bowman’s grasp and proceeded to "beat the daylights out of him," in the words of Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor Ryan Nelson.
