Woman Calls 911 to Report a DUI on Herself

This takes a lot of balls to call the cops on yourself and get arrested for a DUI.

Why start driving in the first place?! She gets some credit for not continuing to drink and drive, but overall she is an idiot for first of all, driving drunk, and secondly, calling the cops on herself. If you pull over to make the call, why wouldn’t you just call a cab instead of the cops, and get your car the next day!?

From apnews.com:

NEILSVILLE, Wis. (AP) – The call came into the 911 dispatcher: “I don’t want to hurt anybody. I’m drunk.” And with that, Mary Strey, 49, of Granton, reported herself as a drunken driver about three miles northeast of Neilsville in central Wisconsin.

Clark County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Jim Backus said Monday that Strey’s call on Oct. 24 led deputies to cite her for misdemeanor drunken driving with a blood-alcohol level double the legal limit to drive. She makes her first court appearance Dec. 10.

Backus said drunken drivers reporting themselves is rare.

In the 911 call, Strey said she wanted to report a drunken driver and the dispatcher asked if she was behind the suspect vehicle. “I am them,” Strey said. She then followed the dispatcher’s advice to pull over and turn on her flashers, telling him she had been “drinking all night long.”
