Utah’s Lady Godiva Into Literal Grand Theft Auto

Last Tuesday, cops say a Utah woman stole a car, led the owner on a high speed chase, wrecked that car, stole the police car that responded to the accident, and totaled said police cruiser before finally being tasered.  All while stark naked.

West Valley City Police Capt. Tom McLachlan said the chase started in West Jordan, Utah, a suburb of Salt lake City, when a naked 31 year-old Sylvina Beagley, left her car climbed into another car that was running and drove away.

The car’s owner called 911, then hopped behind the wheel of Beagley’s abandoned car and gave chase. He said she then wrecked his car, and ran off – still naked into some sagebrush. A police officer spotted her and called for backup. West Valley police 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.

Police say that when another officer arrived, the woman charged them both and slipped through their grasp.  Slipped? Please explain.

“She did have blood on her body from the initial crash. She was hot and sweaty, dirty, and very slippery. She managed to escape the grasp of the two officers,” McLachlan said.  And she was off again! This time she got into a squad car and drove away, only to crash into another gate, hit a burm and soar 50 feet in the air.

Beagley didn’t stop there either. She ran from the totaled car and scaled a barbed wire fence. Officers realized a Taser was necessary to stop her, and so it ended. She’s being held on two counts of stolen vehicles, felony fleeing and lewdness.

My favorite quote from the whole incident: “It appears there may be mental issues involved,” McLachlan said.

The only thing that could possibly make this better would be actual video footage of the chase with the Benny Hill Show theme music, ending in a stock cartoon cuckoo clock noise when they tased her, bro.
