Michael Howard (Hair Bandit)

Michael Howard (Hair Bandit)

Michael Howard was known as an American bicycle manufacturer and business owner (Medici Bicycle Company) before his arrest and conviction as the so-called "Hair Bandit".

Howard was arrested Jan. 1, 2002, and pleaded guilty on April 3, 2002 and was sentenced to eight years in prison for cutting off the hair of nine women and a 12 year old girl on the streets of Long Beach and East Los Angeles.

It is likely that Howard was acting out a Hair fetish. He was accused of grabbing women from behind as they stood or walked on main streets and shearing their hair with scissors or a knife. [ [http://www.go4hc.com/press/newslg.htm Arrest of Alleged 'Hair Bandit' Startles Friends.] ]
