An intoxicated woman without clothes on led police on a chase in New Mexico, according to reports.

A police cruiser’s dash camera captured the incident.

KOB-TV reported on March 8 that 51-year-old Barbara Arrellano was seen running across the highway after she got out of her Toyota Rav-4 SUV following the crash. Deputies say that she exited the vehicle naked.

They caught her after a short chase. They ended up handcuffing her on the ground and placing a tarp over her.

Arrellano told deputies that she has a cyst inside her head that causes seizures, KOB reported.

Deputies said she also attacked officers at the county jail when she was taken in.

In crash, Arrellano attempts to run a red light at an intersection before she is struck by another vehicle, sending her car out of control.

CBS News reported that deputies placed a mask over her head because she tried spitting on them. As she was placed into the back of the police vehicle, she continually shouted, “Jehovah!”

The woman, who is from Chamisal, faces a number of charges, including drunk driving.
