Three naked women who told police they were ‘air drying’ at a Florida rest-stop suddenly took off in their vehicle on Wednesday and led officers on a high-speed chase before being tasered and arrested.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers were summoned to the northbound I-75 rest-stop in Pasco County following reports of three naked woman applying suntan lotion in the parking lot.

Later identified as Oasis Mcleod, 18, Jeniyah Mcleod and Cecilia Young, both 19, the women reportedly told attending officers they were nude because they had just showered and were ‘air drying’ in the sunshine.

But as one trooper tried to gain more information, the trio scarpered into a white Nissan Sentra and drove off at speed with Mcleod allegedly at the wheel.

Oasis Mcleod, 18, is believed to be the driver of vehicle that led police on a series of high-speed chases that left multiple officers injured

The police officer gave chase, but called off the pursuit as the nature of the incident didn’t fit the Highway Patrol criteria.

However another trooper was deployed when a driver called authorities to report a ‘reckless vehicle’, described as the car driven by Mcleod.

The vehicle was later found empty outside of a convenience store on State Road 52, where police waited for the alleged assailants to come out of the shop.

As the officer attempted to arrest one of the women, another reportedly jumped back into the car and drove the Nissan directly at him, forcing the trooper to leap out of the way.

Another woman then exited the car from the passenger seat brandishing a metal baseball bat and tried to strike the officer several times, a police report details.

Witnessing the exchange, another trooper rammed the suspects’ car with his marked patrol vehicle, but the women drove away once again.

Dade City Police Department joined to assist the Highway Patrol, where they eventually brought the suspects’ car to a stop after deploying stingers on the roadway, and ramming the car.

The three teenagers were spotted standing completely nude and applying sun-tan lotion in the parking lot of the Northbound I-75 rest area in Wesley Chapel

Officers were forced to break the windows of the Nissan with batons after the three women refused to get out of the vehicle and started ‘actively resisting arrest’.

A report of the incident alleges that the woman were sat in the car with their arms interlocked. Police say they were forced to taser all three of the suspects before taking them into custody.

Both the Mcleods and Young have been charged with fleeing to elude, resisting arrest, aggravated assault and lewd acts.

Several troopers are said to have sustained minor injuries as a result of Wednesday’s ordeal.

It’s not yet clear when the three suspects will appear in court.
