A Washington County man accused of robbing an Ohio jewelry store while dressed as a woman has been arrested.

According to police, Mark Levenson, who was dressed in women's clothes, took rings from Kay Jewelers at a mall in Steubenville, Ohio.

Investigators said Levenson fled after telling an employee that he wasn’t feeling well while he was trying on the rings.

Officials said they found the rings after they fell out of his clothes at a hospital.

Police are looking into whether the case could be connected to another incident at a mall on Saturday.
