Woman claimed she was running from the sex trade after dragging 2 officers who had tried to get her off private property in Gunnison.
Clare Tridico, 33, faces multiple charges from Saturday's incident, including assault on a peace officer, reckless driving and speeding.
Hours later, the women moved the car to the front of the dealership where officers found them asleep in the Dodge with towels over their faces. Seeing the back door was unlocked, the officer went into the car and pulled the towel off Tridico's face, while a Sanpete County Sheriff's Office deputy did the same through the passenger door. At that point, the report says Tridico"stomped on the gas," dragging the officer and deputy with the car and refusing to stop as she accelerated over a curb and onto the highway.
When Tridico was boxed in, the officers ordered her and the passenger out of the Dodge at gunpoint and both were taken into custody.
