MARION COUNTY, Fla. — A Florida woman with meth-cooking ingredients in her pickup tried to outrun a deputy before a change of heart led her to pull over, get out of her truck and walk backward toward the cop with her hands behind her back to be handcuffed, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said.
Tina AnnMarie Gilmour was arrested June 30 after deputies say she had a backpack in her back seat with items used to cook methamphetamine.
The sheriff’s office released the dash cam video today from the June 30 arrest in Silver Springs.
In the video, deputy Jason Hunt begins pursuing Gilmour, 28, after he saw her driving and recognized her from a few days earlier, when he issued her a notice to appear for driving with a non-valid license.

“Soooo he knew she shouldn’t be driving!” the sheriff’s office posted on Facebook.
But before the Friday afternoon pursuit through the rural, wooded area could reach the drama level of another recent Marion County police chase, in which terrified cows ran for their lives as a Florida man led deputies through a cattle field in a high-speed chase earlier this month, Gilmour quickly realized the gig was up.
The video shows the belly-shirt-clad defendant stopping on a dirt road and calmly walking toward Hunt before she turns to offer him her wrists for cuffing.
Gilmour’s passenger, James Edward Mincey, 50, had a backpack in the back seat with items used to cook methamphetamine, the sheriff’s office said.
Among the items found in the pickup were a plastic bottle containing meth and printed with the phase “My Future is Bright, No Drugs in Sight.”
Gilmour was charged with driving while license suspended or revoked. Mincey was charged with trafficking methamphetamine, possession of oxycontin and possession of diazepam.
