Woman gets naked to avoid DUI

Is being nude going to get you out of a DUI arrest?  Police say a Wisconsin woman stripped when they tried to haul her in for DUI after shoplifting … under the mistaken belief that a naked person can’t be arrested, according to the Sheboygan Press. Julia E. Laack, 36, is accused of stealing beef jerky and lighters at a convenience store. When police later came to her home to arrest her, she stripped, kicked, bit and even spit into the mouth of the female officer who tried to get her clothes back on… as her three children looked on.

According to police, Laack stole a bag of beef jerky and a lighter from a convenience store Thursday afternoon in clear view of the store’s security cameras. Police followed her home and got more than they bargained for when they tried to arrest her.

Investigators say Laack refused to come to the door when officers knocked to question her. She proceeded to scream and swear at her three children, blaming them for the shoplifting incident.

When police entered the residence to calm Laack down, she reportedly stripped down to her bra and panties in front of her children and police, telling officers that they couldn’t arrest her if she was naked. She was mistaken.

Laack reportedly fought with officers as they attempted to handcuff her, kicking one officer in the groin and spitting in another officers mouth. On the way to the police station, Laack pressed her naked buttocks up against the rear window of the patrol car.

Lack was booked into jail on charges of battery on a peace officer, resisting an officer, shoplifting and two counts of disorderly conduct. Laacks blood alcohol level was tested at 0.112%.
