HAMILTON, Ohio – A woman in southwest Ohio has been arrested for trying to sneak into a county jail and telling authorities to arrest her.

Deputies with the Butler County Sheriff's Office arrested 36-year-old Tiffany R. Hurd when she was caught trying to climb over a barbed-wire fence at the rear of the Butler County Jail in Hamilton, near Cincinnati.
