GAINESVILLE - It may have been the shortest getaway in the annals of crime.

A woman accused of stabbing a man in the leg tried to elude police...by escaping in her electric wheelchair.

Gainesville Police say 33 year old Eloise Sturdivant ended an argument with her husband by grabbing a steak knife and twice slashing him.

He ended up at Shands Hospital, and police were called in.

They say when they tried to arrest Sturdivant, she tried to flee in her wheelchair.

Two detectives apprehended her and took her to jail, where she faces several charges including Aggravated Battery.
