Holly Highfield gets naked and runs amok

[Unamused Cat]

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Holly Highfield faces DUI and several other charges after witnesses said she intentionally struck a bicyclist, took off her clothes and ran around the crash scene, then drove off the road while attempting to leave the scene in someone else's vehicle.

Police said the incident occurred Sunday evening while Highfield, 34, was driving three children, ages 10 to 14.

Just after 8 p.m., officers were called to a report of an accident involving a pedestrian and a naked woman at the intersection of San Pablo Road and Pirate Court.

The children in Highfield's car told police that she was driving north when she turned to them and said: "Do you think this biker is going to get hit? do you have faith? Are you afraid?" They said she then steered her SUV across San Pablo and struck a 55-year-old woman riding a bicycle.

When a couple in a van stopped to see if the bicyclist needed help, Highfield allegedly got out of her vehicle, jumped into the van yelling that she was going to jail, ordering the man behind the wheel to drive her away. Police were told than when the driver refused, she got out, took off her clothes and began running around.

According to the police report, when the bystander got out to help the bicyclist, Highfield yelled at the passenger in the van to get out, then attempted to drive off, but left the road and struck a fence.

When police arrived, Highfield was placed in the back of the patrol car. Officers said she became increasingly violent. When a female officer attempted to cover Highfield with a sheet, she was kicked.

The arrest report indicates Highfield "appeared to be under the influence of some type of drug." It said she also urinated in the back of the patrol car.

Highfield was arrested and charged with battery, carjacking, DUI while accompanied by a minor and DUI while causing damage to property. She was transported to Shands-Jacksonville Medical Center for observation.

The bicyclist was transported to Beaches Baptist Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

Feel bad for the biker and the kids. Still I bet it was some entertaining shit to see. :)

UCat, the title is a subtle understatement. I will never see the word "amok" again without thinking of this.

Why didn't they charge her for being naked or pissing in the cop car? They could have used them for bargaining chips during a plea and/or a good laugh in the courtroom.

Ya think?

When I first read the headline, I thought maybe she was just playing naked Chinese fire drill...gawd I used to love playing that game at red lights. Wha...? You never played?

[Dakota Valkyrie]

Holy Fuck SoUnCool!!! I really do think we may be related!! Chinese Fire Drills were SO much fun ... ahhh... those were the days.

We never did it naked, though. Mainly because the prime place to do a drill was in front of the cop shop. (I think they just let us do it and laughed their asses off at what we thought was 'cool')

I swear sometimes we were separated at birth DV! :heart:

That's a whole assload of crazy in one afternoon...with the kids along (hers?).

Hopefully someone can give an update when she gets out of Trembling Hills

Boy Scout Saves Children from Wild Driver

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- A Boy Scout riding in a car with three other children told police the driver hit a bicyclist on purpose.

What the heck was this kid doing in the car with her? Watch the video...it still doesn't explain this shit.

Believe it or not, I composed a FP article on this before UCat hit it (are there pigs flying? is there ice in Hell?), but it probably won't go up until tomorrow a.m. since there were so many front page articles today. Anyway, the news accounts I read weren't clear on how many kids were in the car--3, or 4. Witnesses at the scene said 2 of the children were Holly's.

And she didn't remain in the hospital for observation long. I checked the Jacksonville SO's Web site this afternoon, and they showed her as being in their pretrial detention facility. All 110 pounds of her. I wonder how many cops it actually took to subdue her....

Great minds think alike. Or should that be evil minds?
