“I am not a criminal. I’ve never been arrested,” she wrote in a text message.

According to Police Chief Stephen Lynch, officers received calls Monday evening reporting an erratic driver.

Police found the Lexus SUV after 9 p.m. stopped on Hill Road, and as officers approached the car, allegedly driven by Nuñez, the vehicle took off, according to a police report.

Nuñez allegedly drove 51 mph in a 25 mph zone, failed to stop for a stop sign, swerved into the opposite lane and nearly ran off the road at various times during the pursuit, they authorities said.

Nuñez eventually pulled over on Wallum Lake Road and officers approached the car with their guns drawn, the report said.

Body camera video footage shows Nuñez muttering, “What happened,” as officers close in on her. Officers wrote that they “detected an overpowering odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her breath.” According to the police report and body camera footage released Thursday, she repeatedly told officers that she owns The Conjuring Houseand argued with them why he didn’t stop immediately.

Officers attempted to conduct field sobriety tests, but the video shows Nuñez not following instructions and laughing at the officers. At one point, she told police, “You’re boring me,” and accused them of trying to “save face” by administering the tests, the report said.

Police said he later refused a breathalyzer test but told officers he had three cocktails that night. She was later handcuffed to a bed at the police station after she refused to stop “aggressively banging on the cell door and screaming,” police wrote.

In a series of text messages sent to the Globe, Nuñez claimed he passed a field sobriety test and that police did not ask him to take a breathalyzer test.

She claimed the police and others were “trying to put me out of business”.

“I am horrified by this PD. I drove past a stop sign and then pulled onto the shoulder as they approached,” she wrote. “I remember being panicked and terrified, speeding up and then being pulled over. I knew I would be harassed and possibly taken somewhere to be killed.”

Lynch said Burrillville officers are sometimes called to The Conjuring House, where Nuñez also lives, because of traffic caused by curious onlookers. On Saturday night, Lynch said, Nuñez called police to report seeing former employees near the woods. Police responded but did not find anyone there, Lynch said.

Over the summer, officers also went to The Conjuring House twice with a medical provider to check on Nuñez, who was taken to the hospital on one of those occasions, he said.

Last month, Nuñez said The Providence Journal the hospitalization was orchestrated by former employees in an attempt to take control of the house.

In a series of texts with the Globe, Nuñez referred to several medical facilities, but declined to provide details. “Being thrown into institutions for complaining about crimes against me and my legitimate business does not mean I have psychiatric problems,” Nuñez wrote.

Next comes the DUI charges other Conjuring House controversies in recent months. The 18th-century farmhouse was the inspiration for the 2013 film “The Conjuring,” about the hauntings that plagued the Perron family there in the 1970s. Visitors come from all over the world to tour the property and some even spend the night.

Former employees said Nuñez owed them money, including one who said he was fired after Nuñez accused him of stealing money from the business — an accusation, she said, based on a tip from the ghost of a former owner.

Guests also complained that they were asked to leave based on information that she appeared to say was from spirits. Scott Kitlarz told the Globe that he and his wife paid $1,089 to stay overnight at the house on Oct. 21. The Iowa couple left within hours after Nuñez asked if they were content creators and accused them of not having “good intentions,” adding. , “I can feel your energy,” according to an audio recording provided by the Kitlarz Globe. He told the Globe that she seemed to indicate that spirits informed her about Kitlarz.

He said they brought cameras and microphones to try to capture something otherworldly, but they are not content creators. The prestigious house website states that guests can bring “ghost hunting gear,” but creators must notify staff prior to arrival. Kitlarz asked for a refund, which Nunez agreed to, but he said as of Wednesday he has not received any of the $1,089 he and his wife paid.

Asked about Kitlarz’s experience, Nuñez wrote that she “was quickly alerted to their intentions, so I acted quickly.”

“Nobody who intends to hurt me or my business will get a refund,” she said. “I will not reveal my sources who are trying to protect me and TCH.”

Jason Hawes, the Rhode Island star of the SyFy TV show “Ghost Hunters,” also accused Nuñez of harassing him and said he was concerned for the safety of guests staying there.

Amid the controversy, “The Conjuring House” has remained open to visitors, although last week Lynch opted not to immediately approve an entertainment license for the property, citing “inappropriate” attachments to its application. Nuñez can still reapply before her current license expires in November, Lynch said.

When asked about the license, Nuñez said she would “pursue any option to run my legitimate business.”

“Burrillville will need a compelling reason to turn him down,” she said in a text message.
