Nikkita Frye, a 34-year-old Indiana woman, was jailed Saturday after she allegedly stripped off all of her clothes and began attacking cars along Riverside Avenue.
According to Evansville police, officers were dispatched to the area after witnesses reported seeing a woman with no clothes on that was jumping into traffic and attempting to punch cars as they passed.
When officers located Frye a short distance away, she immediately laid on the ground - still without any clothing on.
Officers at the scene covered Frye with a jacket until they were able to find her dress and talk her into putting it back on.
During questioning, Frye appeared confused and was unable to follow basic instructions.
She later told investigators that she had been using cocaine and bath salts prior to the incident.
While officers attempted to process the scene, Frye continued to yell at and challenge pedestrians who had gathered nearby to watch the melee.
When officers told Frye to stay next to a patrol car, she took an aggressive stance and began smacking her hands together as if she was attempting to provoke a fight with officers.
When officers asked her to turn around so they could handcuff her, she resisted and attempted to punch them.
Officers responded by taking her to the ground and placing her under arrest.
She was booked into the Vanderburgh County Correctional Complex and charged with disorderly conduct, public intoxication and resisting arrest.
