An Indiana woman is facing multiple charges after a bizarre crash in which she was nude.

There are some stories so wild you can't make them up. This is certainly one of those, and it happened right here in the Hoosier State, in La Porte County, Ind. According to CBS News, the incident occurred on the evening of Sunday, Jan. 19, during well-below-freezing temperatures. While some specific details are still unknown, arresting officers were able to piece together the main events of the evening.

Indiana Woman Goes on Nude Joyride Before Crashing

Just after 6 p.m. Sunday, a deputy with the La Porte County Sheriff's Office responded to the 200 block of West Greenlawn Drive for a single-vehicle crash. The homeowner told the deputy that the driver was initially nude, went into their home, and started taking a shower. The driver did not live at the residence, and it's unclear if there was any relationship between the two.

The deputy entered the home to confront the driver, identified as Michelle N. Reeves, 37, of La Porte. Reeves was apparently locked inside the bathroom, from which she emerged in just a towel after the deputy gave her commands to come out. The investigation later revealed she had stolen a 2007 BMW from a nearby home that had been idling in a driveway. According to the homeowner, the car had crashed into a basketball hoop before colliding with a tree.
