A routine traffic stop on a highway south of Denmark's capital turned into an unusual standoff as a 26-year-old woman locked her car and refused to speak to the police officer who had pulled her over, authorities said Thursday.
The Central and West Zealand Police reported that the woman was originally pulled over near the town of Koege for talking on a handheld cell phone while driving and not wearing a seat belt. Additionally, police noted that the tires on her car were worn out, there was no rear window, and the vehicle’s insurance had expired.
