When the officer confronted Henry, she reportedly refused to give her real name. She claimed to be the “Single Ladies” singer.

Police had to use fingerprints to properly identify her.

Surena Henry later told officers that she found the keys inside the car and decided to take it for a joyride, KTSM-TV reported. She reportedly said she didn’t feel like stopping when she saw the emergency lights.

She was charged with unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, concealing identity, and resisting, evading or obstructing an officer, police said.
