Deputy Saves Naked Woman Walking On Marquette Interchange

MILWAUKEE COUNTY, WI — A quick-thinking deputy on his way to work Monday saved the life of a distraught woman walking naked on the Marquette Interchange.

According to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's office, a deputy heading to work in her personal vehicle spotted a naked woman on the freeway in the Marquette Interchange.

Authorities also say that a good Samaritan had also stopped, called 911, and provided a blanket at the deputy’s request to cover the 29-year-old woman until she was transported by Bell Ambulance to Froedtert Hospital.
