Officers in Dunedin, Florida had surrounded a building where suspect Myles Abbott – who had already accidentally shot himself in the leg – was positioned on the roof, allegedly aiming his gun at police, The Tampa Free Press reports.

Suddenly, 28-year-old Jessica Elisabeth Smith appeared on the scene on a golf cart, driving towards the house where the suspect had been holed up for hours.

A police report said Ms Smith, who had nothing to do with the stand-off, “had a distinct odour of an alcoholic beverage coming from her person, and she was completely nude”.

She allegedly refused orders to leave and was arrested by police for resisting an officer without violence.
