AMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida woman was arrested after she reportedly called 911 on herself while trying to steal a car from a dealership so she “could do it legally.”
Christy Turman, 37, called the Lee County Sheriff’s Office because she wanted authorities to know, deputies said.
“Because I’m trying to steal a car that’s not legally mine,” Turman said during the 911 call. “So, y’all better come make a report. I’m reporting this.”
Deputies arrived at the dealership a short time later, where they say they found Turman exiting the driver’s side of the stolen Toyota Corolla.
The 37-year-old told deputies she was being trained in a game of Black Ops to steal a car, but called authorities to make her carjacking legal.
According to the sheriff’s office, Turman was arrested and is facing trespassing charges.

Sounds like she got some bad info.
Reminds me of those Dirty Harry movies where the bad guy calls the police ahead of time so “it won’t be illegal”.
How do people GET to be this stupid?!
Florida woman giving Florida man a run for his money.
This reminds me to notify the police when I rob a bank because I want to do it legal like.
I don’t get it - what makes it legal??
TV
Crackhead maybe. For certain she’ll get three square a day.
Maybe she’s taking her cue from the illegals pouring over the border who turn themselves in to BP and then set free.
Definitely Darwin Award material....
So it worked!!!
She didn’t get charged with car theft, only trespassing.
I wonder if she won the game?
I bet Florida man put her up to it.
Can’t fix stupid. This is the perfect example.

Apparently she was participating in ‘a game of Black Ops to steal a car’ and hoped that revealing her plans to police before she acted on them would make stealing the car legal.
Corolla?
She seems to be stealing the cheapest car on the lot?
She wanted to be arrested. That’s what’s really going on. She doesn’t know how to make it out of jail. She gets three hots and a cot when she goes back.
Actually, she looks just like an old neighbor of mine that was a thorn in my side for 10 years. So glad when we moved from that house. Only saw her once after that. In a store. I could feel her walk past me, turned and looked, and it was her. I walked out of the store as fast as I could. She worked there, but I could leave. Good thing. She was demon-possessed.
“Sounds like she got some bad info.”
Or some good drugs.

Maybe she didn’t hear all the details correctly before the secret agent message tape self destructed.
