Three women who were applying suntan lotion publicly in the nude in Florida have been arrested after leading police on a 21-mile chase.

The Tampa Bay Times reported the women claimed they were “air drying” after washing up. The women fled in a car and later drove a car at one deputy and threatened another with a bat.

Florida Highway Patrol said when an officer approached the women at a rest stop on the Interstate 75 road in Dade City, they started dressing.

Officers said the women told them they had been staying at a relative’s home, but had gone to the rest stop after an altercation and had nowhere else to go.

Three suspects have been charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, fleeing to elude and indecent exposure. – PA
