Woman calls cops to say her car is stolen -- as she speeds away from them, Iowa cops say

[Zorro]

An Iowa woman apparently tried to trick the cops who were chasing her by calling 911 to report her car was stolen, Iowa police say.

It didn’t work.

The woman was driving 20 miles an hour over the speed limit when she sped by police Tuesday morning on Highway 30 in eastern Iowa, according to a Clinton County Sheriff’s Office news release. When a deputy tried to pull over her gray 1998 Buick Century, the woman ran a red light and sped away, police said.

Then she entered a business parking lot and turned around, heading in the other direction on the highway, police said.

This won't look good on her Mensa application.

1. Not bad

That was pretty creative thinking, IMHO.

All she had to do was get away, ditch the car, and figure out how to get home.

Or, she could get away long enough to jump out of the car, roll on the ground a bit, and say "They went thataway!"
