Default the best police chase story

This one gave me a little laugh

http://sltrib.com/sltrib/home/498074...olice.html.csp

Quote:
Two car chases, a totaled police cruiser and an extended foot pursuit of a naked woman through sagebrush finally ended with a Taser being used to subdue her.

No, it was not a typical call for the West Valley Police Department.

“A man was outside his vehicle on [State Road] 111 putting up home business signs when this woman pulled up next to him, got out of her vehicle, naked, and stole his car and drove off,” said West Valley City police Capt. Tom McLachlan.

Initially, the report was filed with police in neighboring West Jordan at about 5 a.m. Tuesday.

The man called 911, hopped behind the wheel of the woman’s abandoned car and gave chase, northbound on State Road 111 and into West Valley City. She left the highway and veered onto a dirt road leading into a field owned by Alliant Technologies, got stuck and then fled on foot into the brush.

West Valley police, assisted by Alliant security, scoured the rugged sagebrush and grasslands for their suspect, described as 5-foot-5, 120 to 130 pounds, thin and with reddish-brown hair.

“Of course, there was no clothing description available,” McLachlan said.

A West Valley officer soon spotted the woman hiding behind a bush, and as he approached, a second officer arrived in his squad car. She refused to surrender, and as the officers moved in she broke away — and hopped behind the wheel of the cruiser, speeding away in a cloud of dust and dragging the officers a short distance before they let go.

Neither officer was seriously hurt and the chase resumed, with the woman driving the police car through a fence gate and then hitting a dirt berm when she missed a curve. “She was airborne about 50 feet before crashing into another berm,” McLachlan said.

The woman, slightly bloodied, fled the ruined squad car and streaked into the weeds again, chased on foot by the two officers.

When she tried to double back toward the highway, at one point wriggling through a barbed wire fence, other officers were waiting for her.

“She was not obeying commands to stop, cease and desist, anything,” McLachlan said, adding an officer finally stunned her with his Taser when the woman appeared to be making another break.

NO, I really think that part of the whole affair is best left to the imagination

UPDATE WITH PICS

OK, so the story made jalopnik and there are pictures, and hilarious comentary. She looks to be pretty hot, but I will wait for the police video to surface on a police chase show, and remember booking photos are always bad.

This is Sylvina Beagley. She made headlines today after stealing two cars while naked and leading cops on one of the wildest police chases ever. She's also a devout Mormon, a PTA president, and thinks bipolar disorder is bunk.

Slyivna Beagley's nude adventure around West Valley, Utah started when she stole a car from a man putting up roadside signs. He gave chase. Beagley was eventually spotted by police, but she was too bloody and sweaty to be apprehended before she stole a cop car, which she then crashed.

According to Beagley's Facebook page, the 31-year-old is married, a mother, and a member of the Church of Latter Day Saints. She has a degree in art history from the University of Utah and is president of the Daybreak Elementary School PTA. It appears that she has been unemployed since working for a theater-service company in 2008, and that she serves only as a volunteer for the school.

Beagley also has a blog where she talks disparingingly about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder:

In my opinion, bipolar disorder is the scapegoat illness. Anytime (sic) someone acts out in an inappropriate venue, they get to be diagnosed with some form of mental illness. This can keep them from going to prison (even though being on medications to keep them "stable" for the rest of their life can be considered its own type of prison).
Given her recent outburst, we're curious as to whether or not she's changed her tune on that one. To her credit, she's going to plead guilty to "disturbing the peace," which seems like an understated description of what happened. As pointed out by DennyCraneDennyCrane, this status is from 12 days ago, meaning she's been arrested recently for another crime and this is merely the end of a spree.
