Florida woman claims she was chased by abominable snowman

Two Lema Drive residents were startled on Sunday morning when a woman knocked on their door and asked for a ride home because the abominable snowman was chasing her.

Sally Meurant and Carmen Fraccica called police after the woman, whom they had never seen before and who later was identified as Toni Zillifro, came to their home at 7:17 a.m.



Zillifro, who smelled strongly of alcohol according to a police report, told a sheriff's deputy that she had got drunk at a local bar the previous night and that the snowman, which she described as 7-feet tall, had chased her. She said she fought the snowman, even getting in a kick.

Zillifro, 36, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace.
