A 56-year-old pants-less woman was arrested Sunday in Midland after she allegedly fled the scene of a car accident.

Shaila Noormohamed was being held on a first-degree felony charge of failure to stop and render aid in an accident, according to the Midland Reporter-Telegram.

Noormohamed posted her $5,000 bond and was released Tuesday.

Midland police officers responded to a motor vehicle accident at about 3:30 p.m. Sunday in the 2200 block of Big Spring Street, with dispatch notifying them that the driver, Noormohamed, was fleeing the scene, according to the arrest affidavit obtained by the San Antonio Express-News.

The officers stopped Noormohamed two blocks away, and the suspect said she did not want to stop in the middle of an intersection following the accident because of traffic, according to the MRT.

She eventually stopped in the middle of a lane, and when she did the officers got a bit of a surprise.

“She was not wearing any pants or underwear,” according to the arrest affidavit. “She only had on a shirt and a jacket.”

The officers told her to put her pants on, and she did so, according to court documents.

The alleged victim in the crash suffered minor/non-incapacitating injuries, including a cut on the foot, the affidavit states.

If convicted, of the first-degree felony, she faces five to 99 years in prison.
