(Lead Photo: KRCR-7, Calif.) Another day, another car chase that leaves the general public wondering, “What were they thinking?” This time, though, the suspect not only ran from the cops, but that’s just the start of the weirdness. 51-year-old Sharon K. Turman’s parole officer tipped off the Redding, California police department that she was wanted for a parole violation. Whoops. When officers found Turman, she was driving her 1994 Chrysler Town and Country, so they moved to conduct a traffic stop. But at the sound of the sirens, Turman drove off in the van, starting a police chase.

Put yourself into the shoes of any of the random passers-by that day. You’re driving along, cruising when you hear a bevy of police sirens approaching from the rear quickly. You pull over just in time to see a minivan, painted to look like the Mystery Machine from the Scooby-Doo cartoons rip past you with a grandmother at the wheel, followed up by several black-and-whites in hot pursuit. Jinkies, I wonder what’s going on here?

Turman ran down highways and tried to run an intersection, hitting four other vehicles in the process, and continued on until she was seen by the California Highway Patrol helicopter ditching the Mystery Machine. As of writing, Turman’s location is unknown and the Redding Police Department, Shasta County Probation, and Mystery, Inc. are all searching for her. Except for Shaggy and Scoob…they can’t believe that anyone would try to run from the cops in a 1990s minivan.
