Woman called AAA during standoff to fix tire police had just spiked, report says

A woman allegedly led Utah troopers on a high speed chase, then called roadside assistance during an ensuing standoff to have them come fix her flat tire that troopers had spiked.

The odd series of events began about 5:20 p.m. when Martinez was spotted by a Utah Highway Patrol trooper on I-70 going 120 mph, according to a police booking affidavit.

"I reached a speed of 130 mph in an attempt to catch the vehicle," the trooper wrote in the affidavit.

Troopers attempted twice to spike the woman's tires. They were successful on the second try near Sigurd, which was nearly 100 miles away from where Martinez was first spotted.

About 40 minutes into the ensuing standoff, police say "Martinez called AAA to get her tire fixed," the affidavit says.
The roadside assistance company transferred the call to the police, who in turn transferred the call to a trooper at the scene.

I'm pretty sure a AAA membership doesn't include coverage for fleeing and alluding, and roadside tire spike fixes.

I had it for a time, came in use a couple, until I sat 4 hours after app/rep was estimating 2 hours max before calling local tow.
Never saw the stand off coverage...

Another case of AAA not coming through.

I'm betting her non-existent membership is canceled.

How did this not happen in Florida?

How did this not happen in Florida?

I've no idea. Have only heard of 'Florida Man'.

How she didn't migrate to that population across a border on maps is beyond me.

Crazy knows no jurisdiction.
