Aspen, CO -- It's a case of out of the frying pan and into the police chief's home.
Pursued by police, 32-year-old Martha Ruth Byrum allegedly fled into Aspen Police Chief Loren Ryerson's house in a misguided attempt to take cover, according to the Denver Post.
Even more unfortunately for her, she allegedly had 4.5 grams of cocaine, a crack pipe and all kinds of other drug paraphernalia packed into her purse.
"Of all the places to walk into," the chief's wife, Mary Ryerson, told the Post.
Ryerson, who was in the house with her two kids during the insane escape attempt, said Byrum calmly requested to use the toilet and the phone.
"She knocked on a window and just opened our sliding glass door and came in," she told the Post.
Two cops who had chased Byrum's 1986 Chevrolet station wagon up to the house after becoming suspicious of her erratic driving showed up soon after and arrested her.
But it didn't end there: Byrum attempted to escape from the police cruiser twice and then cops say she did get away when officers were searching her purse — but they grabbed her just 30 yards away.
Police finally got the wily little fugitive back to the big house and charged her with first-degree criminal trespass, possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
