Police have released footage of a naked woman stealing an Arizona deputy's car before what authorities say was a 70-mile high-speed chase that ended in a crash.

The clip shows Lisa Luna, 31, wandering around naked at a gas station in Gila Bend last week and getting into the cop's car as he gets her a blanket. She can be heard telling the officer that she was raped, an accusation that she later recanted.

Instead, Luna told deputies she was high on methamphetamine and spice at the time of the incident, police said. She later denied this too in an interview and said she had in fact been poisoned by a relative and felt 'possessed'.

Luna is currently held on a $50,000 bond at Maricopa County jail and has been charged with one count of theft and one of endangerment.

'You were raped?' the officer asks.

'Yes, but I'm OK,' Luna replies.

He then tries to keep talking to her but Luna walks towards the back of the vehicle without responding.

She stole the truck when the officer went to get her a blanket. She later said she felt like she had been 'possessed'. She will serve three years' probation after she is released

The bodycam footage shows Luna telling the officer she has been raped - a claim she recanted. She had trouble with mental illness and drug abuse before the incident, a court heard 

Luna (pictured in the bodycam footage) says in the video that she was raped, an accusation she recanted two days later. She then said she was on drugs, police said

During an interview in jail (pictured), Luna denied her initial claim that she had been on drugs and told reporters that she had been poisoned by a relative after arguing about identity theft

Luna asks him for a jacket or something else to cover herself with, at which point the deputy goes to fetch a pink blanket at the back of the vehicle.

But when he returns, Luna is in the driver's seat and starts the pickup truck.

Police said the pursuit began just before 9am after Luna took off, leading multiple agencies on a chase along Interstates 8 and 10, ending near Eloy after she crashed into another vehicle and drove into the median.

The chase at times reached speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour, chief deputy Ben Henry told KPHO.

Deputy Campillo, who held on to the door handle when Luna took off, was injured while trying to stop the vehicle. He has been treated and is now back on duty. 

A news chopper caught the moment Luna was loaded on a stretcher into an ambulance after she crashed the car. She drove for 70 miles at speeds of up to 100mph

Luna was initially identified as a victim of sexual assault but recanted the accusation two days later.

She then told detectives that the effects of methamphetamine and spice had caused her to steal the vehicle, police said.

But Luna recanted that version too during a media interview from jail and this time said she had been poisoned by a relative.

'I don't know what it was, but all of it started after I confronted her about identity theft and poisoning me,' Luna told ABC 15.

Police said they hadn't previously heard the claims and would look into them. 

She said she was walking to California when she took off her clothes. 

'Right before that I remember my skin burning like I couldn't handle it, my skin was on fire. I started taking off my clothes, I felt like I was going to die,' Luna said.

She told reporters some of her memories of the incident were blurry.

 'Like I felt like I was...I want to say possessed, like I didn't have control, like I didn't remember the whole ride until I had sobered up again,' Luna added.

Detectives were waiting for blood test results as of last week to confirm the alleged drug use and impairment. 

Both the county sheriff and prosecutor said they had empathy for the woman due to her troubled mental history 

Officials said the chase at times reached speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour and ended on Interstate 10 near Eloy after Luna crashed into another vehicle
