MARION COUNTY, Fla. (CNN) - Police may hear a lot of creative excuses from people hoping to avoid speeding tickets. But this north Florida woman wins the booby prize.

Mandy Ramsey says she didn't stop for Marion County police because she was topless.

Police say the 35-year-old ran a stop sign and crashed into a tree when a patrol car tried to pull her over.

Ramsey says she was en route to surprise her boyfriend.

She was booked for fleeing and eluding law enforcement and released on a $5,000 bond.
