An Oklahoma woman who was being detained in the back of a police car is accused of slipping out of her handcuffs, grabbing an assault rifle and opening fire - and the wild incident was all caught on video.
It happened just outside of Oklahoma City.
According to deputies, the woman, identified as 36-year-old Rachel Zion Clay, was only being detained for erratic behavior and wasn't going to get arrested.
"While in the back seat of a patrol car, she was able to get her wrist free from the handcuffs and the handcuffs were put on properly," said Grady County Undersheriff Gary Boggess, who spoke with KOKH-TV about the incident.
Boggess said the woman was able to reach into the patrol car's console and grab a rifle.
"There's several switches, one is a gun switch to unlock the gun lock and she found it, unlocked the gun lock, and was able to retrieve an AR-15 rifle," said Boggess. "Then she was able to figure out how to put a round in it, put it on fire and she fired approximately 10 rounds at our deputies and a civilian."
In footage from the police car's dashcam, the woman is seen holding the rifle and shooting it through the back window.
Clay barricaded herself in the car and surrendered more than three hours later. Authorities say she tested positive for methamphetamine.
Both the officer and civilians sustained non-life threatening injuries and have since been released from the hospital, according to authorities.

That officer learned a hard lesson that day, and luckily he lived to tell about it.
Hope she was already in deep sh*t before that, because she is deep sh*t now.
Says the person who put them on too loosely.
Yeah Right.
A couple FReepers come to mind...
Range time, people.
Maybe she is ‘double jointed’?.......................🤔
Attention Florida Woman Please pick up the White Courtesy phone.
Somehow I knew it wasn’t the Amish.
She figured out how to put 1 round in it, then fired 10 rounds. Oh-Kay.
It leaves open the possibility that she had a key.
Yeah, properly put on cuffs were slipped out of in moments. Freaking Houdini descendant out there.
“tested positive for methamphetamine”
Ah, there it is. Another meth head success story.
“Ow!” Had to laugh. Redneck Rampage has a cheerleader that tells that when she’s shot.
She probably complained they were too tight and
hurting her delicate wrists.

That’s how Houdini did it. When he wasn’t using trick locks he’d hide the key in his mouth.
Well, she screwed that up real good, didn’t she?

I thought patrol cars usually have a partition that isolates anyone in the rear passenger seats from the front seats of the vehicle, for obvious reasons.
