East Cleveland police Capt. Scott Gardner told WJW the woman was found by police after she crashed a car Tuesday morning. She told police she went to the house and believed she was drugged with a narcotic during the party.
The woman also said the people at the party believed she was dead and put her in the freezer, preparing to dispose of her body, Gardner told the television station.
Gardner said the woman woke up about 10 a.m. Tuesday and managed to escape. She was taken to hospital and was treated for frostbite, WJW reported.
Gardner said Glaze and the victim were friends, the television station reported.
