Topless woman tells DeLand police God told her to direct traffic

DeLand - A 30-year-old woman caused quite a commotion Wednesday evening when she decided to direct traffic at a DeLand intersection.

Rather than keeping traffic flowing through the intersection of W. Euclid and S. Orange avenues, the woman was creating a bit of a hazard, police said, because she was topless. The DeLand Police Department received a number of calls about 7 p.m. and responded to find the woman "foaming at the mouth and talking to herself," according to a police report.

The DeLand woman told police that God told her to direct traffic.

She was taken to an area hospital for a mental evaluation.
