Naked woman leads cops on wild chase

The 31-year-old woman from Kearns was booked Tuesday evening after getting a mental evaluation.

This was certainly an unusual call for West Valley City officers. They say it's laughable now, but mostly, they're just happy no one was seriously injured.

Five o'clock in the morning is not usually a busy time on Highway 111 in West Jordan. But Tuesday morning was different.

As West Valley City police Capt. Tom McLachlan said, "This was an episode that is out of the normal."

And that's an understatement.

A man was pulled over, posting business signs on the side of the road. Sylvina Beagley pulled up next to him and got out of her car.

"Unique thing about that was that, uh she was not wearing any clothes," McLachlan said.

Then she decided to steal his car, driving north toward West Valley City.

The man jumped into her abandoned car and followed Beagley, while dialing 911.

At 5300 South, she crashed into a gate on ATK property and ran. Officers eventually caught up with Beagley, but they couldn't quite physically catch her.
