Oklahoma Woman Leads Police On High-Speed Chase After Telling Them ‘I Have To Poop So Bad’

An Oklahoma woman was arrested after leading police on a high-speed police chase following her admission that she had to “poop so bad.” Emily Sindt Owings, 28, was pulled over by police in the town of Enid at about 9 a.m. on a Tuesday morning for not wearing a seatbelt. The officer soon discovered that her license had been revoked and when he let her know that he needed to check for any outstanding warrants, that’s when she claimed she needed the toilet urgently and decided to zoom off. Uh oh!

  1. Owings told the officer it was her birthday. She tried every excuse in the book, including outright asking the officer to let her go. He obviously refused, to which she responded that she had no idea her license had been revoked and that if she had, she wouldn’t still be driving. “Can I please go home and go poop?” she then pleads in bodycam footage released by the Enid Police Department.
  2. Incidentally, she did have a warrant out for her arrest. The warrant was for allegedly fighting an officer during a previous altercation. Owings was then asked to step out of the vehicle after being told she was under arrest, with the officer telling her, “You have warrants in Woods County and they are coming to get you.” Her response? “No they are not! F–k you guys!”
  3. She took off at 70mph. She led police on a chase for a few blocks, blazing through stop signs before eventually surrendering. As she’s escorted to the squad car, she asks the officer if she can poop in his car, to which he responds that she could have already been nearly at the jail. “Yeah, but not pooping!” she said.
  4. She was arrested and booked into Garfield County Detention Center. There, she was charged with a slew of charges including reckless driving, driving under suspension and possession of drug paraphernalia for the meth pipe they found in her car.
