GREER, S.C. -- A woman is accused of jumping out the back of a police car and running off Wednesday night, Greer police said.

It happened shortly after 8 p.m. on Wade Hampton Boulevard.

Police said the woman called them complaining about a domestic situation.

Investigators soon found out she was wanted on multiple warrants in North Carolina.

They handcuffed her and put her in the back of a police car.

Officers were waiting for the woman's car to be towed when she jumped out the back and took off, police said. They say she somehow got out of her handcuffs.

The Greenville County Sheriff's Office K-9 unit helped track the woman down a quarter of a mile away at a restaurant.

Police say she had called a cab and was waiting for it when police got there. She was then arrested again and taken into custody.
