Zyeama Y. Johnson, 27, was arrested on October 4 after she applied to work for the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office in northeast New Jersey, a department that specializes in finding people who are wanted for outstanding warrants.

“She applied for a job as a security guard,” a detective for the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office told Newsweek. “Obviously, as part of the background check process, we run them for warrants.”

A simple check found that Johnson had an active bench warrant in Pennsylvania’s Monroe County for failure to appear in court on fraud charges, as well as 10 bench warrants in Jersey City, New Jersey, for failure to appear on traffic charges.

“At that point, we called her in for an interview—or rather what she thought was an interview—and we took her into custody,” said the sheriff’s office spokesperson.

Failure to appear in court is a misdemeanor in many states, which can lead to consequences including a jail sentence, fines and driver’s license suspension, according to legal publisher Nolo. Bail jumping charges can apply when a defendant who is out on bail doesn’t show up in court, while a person who fails to obey a court order can also be charged with contempt of court.

While conducting a routine search of Johnson’s property after her arrest, officers found two credit cards that they believed to be stolen, said a spokesperson. She was charged with credit card theft.

The sheriff’s office also found that Johnson was a former employee of the United States Postal Service. Detectives contacted the United States Postal Investigative Service, which has launched its own investigation.

Asked why Johnson would have applied for a job with the sheriff’s office as a fugitive from justice, the spokesperson said, “We don’t know.”

The alleged fugitive is currently being housed at the Hudson County Correctional Facility, pending her extradition to Pennsylvania.

Johnson is not the first person to make news for allegedly walking into her own arrest.

In September, an alleged police impersonator was arrested after pulling over a real off-duty deputy in Colorado.

Meanwhile, in Florida, a woman’s bid to beat her drunk driving test with “ballet and Irish folk dance moves” led to her arrest in August.

And in February, a Florida man accused of stealing a car was caught after driving onto train tracks, where a train hit the vehicle and catapulted it into a nearby home.
