DADE CITY, FLORIDA — The story starts, as many tend to do in Pasco County, with nudity.
Three naked women were spotted Wednesday afternoon at the northbound Interstate 75 rest stop area in Wesley Chapel, just south of State Road 54.
What unfolded next, according to the Florida Highway Patrol, was not just another bizarre tale of the Sunshine State. The women led troopers on an hour-long chase across east Pasco, drove the wrong way, tried to drive over a trooper and threatened another with a pink and purple metal baseball bat, according to the Highway Patrol.
The incident ended about 21 miles away in Dade City, when troopers said they rammed the vehicle off the road in a school zone, stunned one of the women with a Taser and arrested all three.
The driver was identified as 18-year-old Oasis Shakira McLeod and the passengers as two 19-years-olds, Jeniyah McLeod and Cecilia Eunique Young. All three face charges that include aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, fleeing to elude and indecent exposure.
Their arrest reports detail Wednesday’s events: It started when a rest stop custodian called the Highway Patrol at 9:54 a.m. He said he saw “all three of them, standing in the nude, putting on suntan lotion.”
A trooper arrived at 10:24 a.m. and saw the naked women from the rest stop parking lot. They started dressing when they saw the trooper. “Stay right there,” Jeniyah McLeod told the trooper.
Oasis McLeod told the trooper they were “air drying” after washing up. The trooper saw they had a case of water and a bottle of soap. Oasis McLeod said they had left Cecilia Young’s father’s house in Lutz after an altercation and spent the night in the rest stop because they had no where else to go.
The women gave the trooper their names and dates of birth, but ignored the trooper’s commands to say put.
“We need you to leave,” Jeniyah McLeod said. “We need you to walk away. Leave, leave, leave.”
Then she told the trooper they “were going to walk away.” The trooper told them to stop.
“No we’re not,” one of them said. All three women ran around the trooper, jumped into a white 2009 Nissan Sentra with a New York state license plate. Oasis McLeod was the driver as the car sped off — forcing a pedestrian to jump out of the road as they sped out of the rest stop.
They got on northbound Interstate 75 and headed for State Road 52. The trooper started speeding after them but her superiors called her off because the circumstances did not meet Highway Patrol’s pursuit policy.
A driver on I-75 called 911 and followed the Nissan to S.R. 52, to San Antonio, Fla. Another trooper found the Nissan, reported seeing it drive the wrong way, then head east on S.R. 52.
A trooper managed to fire a GPS tracker onto the fleeing Nissan, which officials said allowed them to back off the pursuit. Highway Patrol dispatchers in Tampa started tracking the car and radioing its position to troopers.
The Nissan pulled up to a gas station at S.R. 52 and Curley Road and one of the women jumped out of the back seat and ran inside. Two troopers jumped out of their cruiser and ordered the Nissan to stop. It drove off. One trooper drove off after it while the other ran after the fleeing woman.
