A South Carolina woman was running late for an appointment and decided to take a shortcut through a cemetery, where she damaged several graves.

Oconee County sheriff’s deputies in South Carolina attempted to stop a woman who allegedly told police she was “late for an appointment,” but continued to drive down Interstate 85 and across state lines into Lavonia, Georgia.

“In case you saw or heard the law enforcement commotion, well it wasn’t us,” Lavonia police wrote on Facebook.

After striking the graves, the woman jumped out of her vehicle and began running on foot but was quickly captured and taken into custody.
