You don't see this every day.

A woman in Tennessee who police say abandoned her burning car was arrested later in the day after she was found nearly naked and ringing doorbells.

According to a report from the Knoxville Police Department, officers were called to a wreck at Edington Road near Maryville Pike where they found an abandoned car still in motion at the intersection of Sims and Lester roads. A witness reportedly doused a fire that broke out on one of the doors after it hit a guardrail, per WVLT. During the course of the investigation, the car was discovered to belong to 23-year-old Marisa Ferrante.

A seemingly separate incident later on Monday (September 20) involving reports of a masked naked woman ringing doorbells along Sims Road actually turned out to be connected when officers identified the suspect as Ferrante. When they arrived, they found Ferrante wearing only a mask, a tail and underwear stopping traffic at an intersection. They tried to approach her, but she fled on foot and jumped a fence at a house nearby, the news outlet reports.

According to the police report, officers found Ferrante pretending to defecate on a lawn while talking to a dog in an enclosure before she began eating grass. While taking her into custody, she reportedly tried to hit, kick and bite officers and told them she felt "called to abandon her car and go into the woods naked."

Ferrante is facing several charges from her wild day out, including indecent exposure, evading arrest, criminal trespass, resisting arrest, assault on a first responder, disorderly conduct, obstructing a highway, reckless endangerment, duty upon striking fixtures upon a highway and not providing an immediate notice of an accident.
