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.

A lot of meth-heads are kinda porky. They can drink beer like you wouldn’t believe, and sometimes have to if they want to sleep.
Looking at her picture I’d bet they didn’t do a cavity search.
Would you?
Friends, acquaintances or personal experience?
She just wanted to go for a ride and the cop was taking to long.
First, anybody who can do all that whle on Meth has enough intelligence and drive to be very successful at some kind of job. Drugs suck.
Other than that, WTH cop car allows you to reach into the driver’s compartment? I mean seriously. Who designed that FAIL?
Being in the front seat would make sense. She was being detained, not arrested.
No! Hahaha!
Not my monkeys...not my circus!!!
Couldn’t pay me for enough to be a cop nowadays.
“Rachel Zion Clay”
Perfect name.
menopause, it’s a mf’r
Oh woman!
I watched the video of this woman (who was on meth).
Soft and chubby, and not a lock pick artist.
Fortunately, not a good shot either.
I only left a super-soaker in the front seat, just in case of this very thing.
Or if I had a Remington, I’d load it with shells that would eject a bouquet of flowers out of the barrel.
Oh, so they detain her within reach of a rifle. No common sense.
Most people high on meth are... at least until the high runs out.
Yep! Gotta have a 12 gauge! No 11 gauge for me!
Good God!
Guilty as Hell!
ROTFLMAO!!!
