Police find woman hiding, and now she's really in doghouse

FRANKFORT, Ky. -- A Kentucky woman faces charges after authorities say they found her hiding in an empty doghouse after a dangerous pursuit.

Frankfort police tell local media that 28-year-old Myranda Skinner and 36-year-old Bryan Wells led officers on a chase Monday morning after an officer noticed the license plate of a vehicle that had been reported stolen.

Authorities say Skinner, the driver, tried to run over an officer after the suspects' vehicle was briefly stuck at a dead-end road.

Police say the pursuit led to the car crashing through a gate at a golf course, with the suspects fleeing on foot.

A K-9 unit found Wells inside the bed of a truck and Skinner, of Lexington, in the doghouse.

The suspects were indicted Tuesday on numerous charges, including fleeing police.
