NBC4i  Police in southwest Ohio are perplexed about why a woman tried to sneak into a county jail before telling authorities to arrest her.

Deputies with the Butler County Sheriff’s Office arrested 36-year-old Tiffany R. Hurd on Sunday morning after she was caught trying to climb over a fence into Butler County Jail in Hamilton, near Cincinnati. It happened after jail staff leaving a late-night shift told Hurd to leave the property, but she told them to arrest her.

“She was repeatedly told to stop,” Sgt. Monte Mayer said. “They couldn’t talk her out of it.”

Deputies asked Hurd to leave numerous times, but she refused and attempted to climb the fence again. That’s when police took action.

“I know the economy is bad right now, but I didn’t think it was so bad that someone would actually try to break IN to jail,” he said.
