WHY THIS WOMAN WAS HANDCUFFED, STRIP-SEARCHED AND THROWN IN JAIL MIGHT BE SCARIER THAN ANY STORY YOU HEAR THIS HALLOWEEN

Even if Sarah Boaz were looking for a way to get out of going to work Wednesday, the alternate plan knocking at her Texas front door likely wasn’t at the top of her list.

It was the city marshal with a warrant for her arrest.

Boaz’s crime?

She ran a stop sign in August and never paid the fine, Dallas-Fort Worth’s KTVT-TV reported.

“I’m like, nobody puts out a bench warrant after 60 days. Why would you do that?” Boaz told KTVT. “You wouldn’t do that.”

Oh yes, they would.

Boaz was handcuffed and taken to Richland Hills jail, which is where things escalated even further.

“’I’m going to need you to undress,” she remembers a female officer telling her. “I’m going to need you to stand against the wall.”
