WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (AP) -- A woman was undergoing a mental evaluation Tuesday after police say she stole two vehicles, including a police cruiser, and led officers on a chase through two Salt Lake City suburbs - all while naked.
Police Capt. Tom McLachlan said doctors do not believe drugs or alcohol led to the woman's erratic behavior, which also included running through sagebrush.
The chase finally ended when she was subdued with a stun gun after climbing a chain-link fence.
"It appears there may be mental issues involved," McLachlan said.
He said the woman is in her early 30s, but her name was not being released. He said doctors need to finish a medical assessment before police decide whether to pursue charges.
The chase started in West Jordan when the already unclothed woman left her car, climbed into another car that was running and drove away, McLachlan said.
He said she wrecked that car, then ran off - still naked - into some sagebrush. A police officer spotted her and called for backup, not knowing what to expect from the woman.
