Report: Teacher's assistant claims she wouldn't stop for cop because she was topless

MARION COUNTY, Fla. — A 35-year-old teacher's assistant said she did not stop when a Marion County deputy tried to pull her over for speeding because she was topless, according to an arrest report.

Deputies said Mandy Ramsey was speeding on Highway 315 when he attempted to pull her over, but she continued driving the Ford F‐250 pickup truck and tried to outrun the deputy.

According to the report, the truck was later found at a home on 227th Place, where the owner of the vehicle said he had not driven it in more than two hours.  It was later determined that the owner's girlfriend had been driving the truck and told officers she did not stop because she was topless, deputies said.

Ramsey was arrested on charges of fleeing and attempting to elude law enforcement.
