FARGO (AP) — U.S. marshals made an unusual arrest in Fargo, capturing a woman who tried to hide inside a large suitcase but got tripped up by her own hair.

The 38-year-old woman was wanted for violating her supervised release on a drug conviction. As authorities searched an apartment for her Wednesday, a suitcase fell over in a closet and officers heard a grunt.

Authorities say the woman's hair had become caught in the zipper, and she had to be cut out of the suitcase before she could be arrested.
