WEIRD FLORIDA: More strange stories from the Sunshine State 

A Florida woman with a long arrest record was arrested after she tried to flee the scene of a car crash on I-75, FOX13 Tampa reported. 

Jacqueline Burge, 54, reportedly refused to stop after Sarasota County Sheriff's deputies attempted to pull her over. She hit a deputy's cruiser after driving through a yard before merging onto I-75 southbound.

She then lost control, damaged another cruiser and then fled again, the report said.

Burge tried to flee on foot but was quickly captured. FOX13 said Burge had drugs on her and several ID cards.

Burge has been arrested several times in Sarasota County alone, including arrests for theft, prostitution, and drug possession, the TV station said.
