LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A woman in a stolen truck led police on a chase in northwest Arkansas that ended when she got out of the truck naked and was tackled by an officer.
A caller told the Lamar Police Department that a white pickup truck carrying “several loaded guns” and pulling a loaded trailer was stolen around 4:15 p.m. on March 25, according to a police report. Less than 10 minutes later, an Arkansas State Police trooper found the truck traveling west on Interstate 40 near mile marker 57.
The driver, later identified as 48-year-old Deidra Lewis, refused to pull over, according to the report. She began a pursuit with multiple police agencies for about 10 miles. Police said Lewis tried to shake off the items on the back of the trailer, leaving cargo on the road.
A Coal Hill officer was able to set up a tire-puncturing spike strip near mile marker 47. Dashcam footage from a state police vehicle shows the truck’s front driver's side tire was blown out and Lewis was forced to pull over. The video shows her quickly getting out of the driver’s side of the truck wearing only a jacket and what appears to be a shirt on her head. She takes the jacket off as she walks toward officers. An officer with a large gun then appears in front of the police vehicle and tackles her.
Police said Lewis was taken to the Johnson County jail, where she was still being held on Tuesday.
Lewis faces charges of aggravated assault, theft of a motor vehicle, criminal trespassing, reckless driving, disorderly conduct and fleeing. She's set to appear in court May 13.

He was the best! I never laughed so hard.
You may be right, she may be crazy.
I would advise not to look for a lunatic, but some people just have to act out Billy Joel, and impose their fantasies on others.
After the capture and booking, I hope they burned the officers uniform, and gave him an immersion bath in hand sanitizer.
I’m waiting for Roy D. Mercer’s account of this incident. He will know ALL the details.
Also based on a documentary I saw recently there’s A TON of meth down there in Arkansas.
She got that meth look———————
More than likely —big problem here in NE Arkansas......I realize she was in Little Rock, but it’s a statewide problem...
I call police brutality om this. What is the obsession with police forcing people to the ground. How about a simple stop hands up. The police are not winning my respect when they force people to the ground (think about the lady with dementia reported within the last two weeks) as SOP.
Well, I’m sure under that blue screening ..ah...well, I wouldn’t want to know.
Laz is a braver man than me.
GUILTY. GUILTY AS SIN. Lock her up and throw away the key.

G-to the-uilty! 10 years solitary for her!
It's Interesting that editorializing about the large, naked woman is absent from the article.
“Body cam” takes on a whole new meaning...
“Dash cam” too, although the officer seems to be doing more of a “dash” than the woman.
Hazard pay
PTSD forever
What are the chances she wasn’t on meth? Less than one percent?
Hi.
I hope all is well with you.
“Less than one percent?”
Probably, but I wouldn’t bet on those odds. If you gave me 100-1 then maybe a Benjamin.

The officer had a large gun? Freudian slip?
Hey, you could be talking about the next Mrs. Lazamataz!
