Florida Woman Slips Out Of Handcuffs, Climbs Into Front Seat, Drives Off In Cop Car

[BroBible] Today’s Florida Woman is Mary Liane Fritz, 30, who was arrested by High Springs police on charges of stalking.

According to an arrest report obtained by Gainesville.com, Fritz followed a woman who claimed she was being stalked to the High Springs Police Station on Monday afternoon.

For some reason, despite already being at the police station, officers handcuffed Fritz’s hands behind her back and placed her in the back seat of a patrol car... alone. Big mistake.

The arrest report states Fritz then somehow got out of her cuffs, climbed through the partition in the vehicle to the front seat, STARTED THE CAR (WHY WERE THE KEYS IN THE CAR?), and drove off!

#3  Patrol units often are kept running until EOW because the radios and onboard electronic gear would drain the battery In minutes if the engine were shut down. Since the back seat is normally isolated from the front by a screen and/or plexiglass and the doors don’t open from the inside, I’m curious how she got out?

#2  Sounds like the Hangover. Hopefully she'll get to be a taser target for a class of kids before its over.
