Some people who run from police lay low.

An Alberta woman, however, allegedly did the opposite on Sunday when she hopped onto the ice during a men’s recreation­al hockey game and started to strip.

Pincher Creek RCMP say two female relatives left a preNew Year’s Eve party and got into a car crash.

Police say both fled the scene of the collision, but officers soon caught up with the driver.

“As we were dealing with the impaired driver, and obviously the passenger being absent, we started making patrols for her as well,” said Pincher Creek RCMP Const. Robert Wright. “Then we started receiving calls from the local arena who were complainin­g of a female who had gone onto the ice and was removing her clothing.

“As she was doing that, I think they were a little more (annoyed) it was delaying the hockey game.”

Police say the passenger was also drunk at the time.

“She got down to her undergarme­nts.

“If she took anything more off, we haven’t been informed yet,” said Wright.

“We’re still in the process of gathering the surveillan­ce tapes now. Lord only knows what we’ll see.”

Tiffany Hourie, 27, has been charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle, leaving the scene of an accident, refusal to provide a breath sample and other provincial driving fines.

Brittany Hourie, 21, has been charged with indecent acts, obstructio­n of a police officer and causing a disturbanc­e.

They will appear in court later this month.
