BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Police in Alabama got a report of what looked like a woman shot dead in her car but found a Halloween reveler they described as drunk and passed out in a bloody-looking zombie costume.
Apasserby called 911 in Birmingham on Thursday morning after seeing the woman slumped over her steering wheel at a traffic light.
Police say officers roused the woman and removed her from the SUV. Authorities say she was handcuffed and taken to the city jail on a DUI charge.
A photo of the woman showed fake blood covering much of her torso as she was apprehended.
Details on her identity weren't immediately available.
