OTTAWA — Officers got an eyeful when a 52-year-old La Peche, Que., woman stopped for erratic driving turned out to be naked, police say.

And the bizarre saga didn't end there; police say the woman, who allegedly blew more than three times the legal limit, was abusive towards officers and refused to get out of the car.

Police had to cut her seatbelt in order to remove her from the car.

The bizarre case began at about 10:30 p.m. on June 20, when someone called police to report an erratic driver.

Police said the car was stopped at the side of the road, where the woman was arrested despite her refusal to co-operate with officers.

Police said they have no idea why she was behind the wheel sans clothes but she quickly got dressed at the police station, where her alcohol level was tested.

The woman, who faces charges of impaired driving, refusal and obstruction, is to appear in court on Sept. 19.

She was also fined $267 for verbally abusing police.

La Peche is located north of Gatineau.
