What not to ask a cop

Selma Elmore, 44, of Lockland, Ohio, flagged down a police officer at 2:30am on Friday night to ask him two questions: Is there a curfew for adults? No. Is there a warrant for her arrest? Yes. Ooops. From Cincinnati.com:

(Officer Dan) Lyons had discovered Elmore was wanted for allegedly failing to pay a fine as a result of a drug-related conviction, said Sgt. Patrick Sublet.

Elmore took off running, leading the officer on a brief chase that ended when she shoved him into a building, injuring his elbow, Sublet said. Lyons radioed for backup. Other officers apprehended her. She faces a new charge of resisting arrest.
