VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - Infamous Oregon ice skater Tonya Harding is back in the news.

Clark County sheriff's deputies responded to two calls early Sunday morning involving Harding.

Police reports describe Harding as "very agitated" and "tweaking out."

Sergeant Tim Bieber told The Oregonian that police received the first call at about 5 a.m.

According to a police report, Harding said four men and a woman tried to break into her car and steal it. In his report, the deputy wrote that Harding's account was "very implausible."

Harding told police she was on "new medication" and was experiencing an adverse reaction.

Later that same morning, police received another call regarding Harding, this time from a friend who told authorities the skater was "seeing animals."

The deputy took Harding back to her trailer and checked her home to "put her at ease."
