LA PORTE, Ind. — An Indiana woman wanted by police was taken into custody after she was found hiding in a refrigerator, authorities said.
Rabecca Rene Rudd, 39, of La Porte, was arrested Sunday on three warrants involving misdemeanor counts of battery, criminal mischief and possession of paraphernalia, The Times of Northwest Indiana reported.

Upon entering the home, officers said they found bedding materials fashioned into a rope and extended out of a window, according to the Times. However, authorities suspected a ruse because the makeshift rope was tied to a lightly weighted kitchen table.
Police said they searched further in the house and found Rudd hiding inside a refrigerator, WBND reported.
Rudd was arrested and booked into the La Porte County Jail, according to online booking records. She later posted bail for $410, records show.
