Pittsburgh woman attempts to steal unmarked police car with two police officers still in it

A Pittsburgh woman was arrested in the early hours Saturday morning after she tried to steal an unmarked police car with two officers still sitting in it, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

According to police, Ria Buford, 32, had just exited an after-party following a concert at a club and was standing with a group when the officer sitting in the driver’s seat stepped out of the car to make a phone call.

Officer Garrett Spory stated that he was sitting in the passenger seat observing the group when Buford walked over and sat down in the driver’s seat. According to Spory, he told the woman, “Pittsburgh police, get out of the vehicle now! You’re under arrest!” After Buford informed the officer that she was going to drive the idling police car to get to her car, an officer sitting in the backseat also told her to exit the vehicle.

In his report Spory wrote, “We were both terrified that she was going to attempt to drive away with both of us in the vehicle.”

That's dang good work, boys!!

1. Driving when drunk is always a mistake.

I wonder how she's feeling now.

2. instead of offering to drive her home or call her a cab

they were unprofessional assholes. Who do you protect? Who do you serve? Police have lost all credibility.

I am serious.

3. Wow. Drunk lady breaks into a random car, which happens to be an unmarked police car..

And when she gets arrested for committing several crimes, it's the fault of the police? What a joke.

4. And if it hadn't been police in the car?

No, she is a public health risk...if she was 18 it might be different too...she is 32

5. They protect people from drunk drivers

and they protect drunk drivers from themselves.

People who drink to excess plan to drink to excess or they are alcoholics. Either way they don't belong behind the wheel of a car and they need to be stopped because they aren't going to restrict themselves.

Drunk driving kills 10,000 people outright every year and injuries 290,000.

6. Her friend is just as stupid....

As Spory attempted to pull the woman out of the car, a man grabbed the officer’s shirt and told him not to touch Ms. Buford. Spory and other officers then tackled the man after he refused place his hands behind his back. The man subsequently refused to give his name and was arrested along with Buford.
