Woman High On Meth Breaks Free From Handcuffs In Back Of Police Cruiser, Grabs Rifle, Shoots Cop And Civilian

An Oklahoma woman high on meth was seen on video being detained in a police officer's car for crawling around and barking before she managed to slip out of her handcuffs, find the officer's assault rifle, and started shooting out of the window.

Rachel Zion Clay, 36, was detained last Friday afternoon during a welfare check after homeowner Dale Moses called authorities because of Clay's erratic behavior.

Responding officers say they only planned to detain Clay, not arrest her, when they fitted her with double-lock handcuffs and placed her in the back of a police cruiser.

Shocking footage from inside the cruiser shows what happened next: Clay slipped her right wrist out of her handcuffs, reached the console toward the front of the car, and unlocked the gun compartment before retrieving an AR-15 assault rifle.

Clay can then be seen loading a magazine into the gun, flipping the rifle's flashlight on and pointing it out of the rear window, and firing.

One officer and Moses were injured in the shooting as bullets grazed them, but both were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released from the hospital.
