(La Porte County, IN) - A naked woman is accused of stealing a car and crashing into a tree near Kingsbury last night.

According to La Porte County Police, officers about 6 p.m. were called to 200 Greenlawn Dr. on a report of a single vehicle crash and the driver being naked when she approached a home seeking help. The caller also told a 911 dispatcher the driver was now inside her residence and taking a shower, police said.

Police said the investigation shows Michelle Reeves, 37, took off in a car that was idling in a nearby driveway and moments later, crashed into a basketball hoop and tree.  An officer investigating the accident went inside the home and made his way to the bathroom to find the door locked.

In response to his commands, Reeves came out wrapped in just a towel. Reeves was booked into the La Porte County Jail on charges of theft, and other counts including public nudity.
