Des Moines, Iowa. Sara Ann Fazio, a 27-year-old Des Moines woman was arrested Thursday for DUI…. performs strip routine in holding cell.
According to Des Moines police, an officer stopped Fazio for speeding and suspected DUI at about 2 a.m. Thursday morning.
Investigators say she became uncooperative – yelling at the officer and pulling away while shouting at passing cars. Officer Eric Hartman reported that he had to call for backup so that he could get her into custody. Once in the patrol car, Fazio reportedly spit on the window of the patrol car.
Fazio said she had to give a breath-alcohol test “16 times” and had trouble performing the field sobriety test at first because she was wearing 5 inch stiletto heels.
When police finally got Fazio back to the police station, that’s when they say Fazio initiated a strip tease that soon had her naked in the holding cell.
Officer Hartman wrote in his report “About midway through the implied consent advisory, this officer experienced a first after nine years on the department. The driver began stripping off all of her clothes while I read the implied consent advisory – one clothing piece at a time. Eventually, she got down to a point where she was completely naked and walking up and down the holding area.”
Fazio disputes that claim, however, stating that she pulled her jeans down only after the officer refused to take her to the bathroom.
The officer listed her employer as ‘The Lumber Yard’ a strip club in Des Moines. She admitted to working for the club in the past, but stated she hadn’t “worked there in years.”
“They just made that up,” she said.
Fazio now faces charges of drunk driving, speeding, assault on a police officer and interference with official acts.

Let me guess the officer let her remove one piece of clothing at a time without stopping her until she was naked.
Either shoddy police reporting or it probably didn’t happen.
