Woman Reports Self as Drunken Driver
AOL News

(Nov. 2) -- Late on a Saturday night, a Wisconsin woman called 911 to report a drunken driver: herself.

In a recording of the call, the dispatcher is heard asking Mary Strey, 49, "You behind them?" Strey answers, "No, I am them." The confused dispatcher asks, "You am them?" And Strey responds, "Yes, I am them."



The dispatcher then tells Strey to pull over so she doesn't have an accident.

The 911 recording was released Friday, and Strey was charged last week with driving drunk and operating a vehicle with a blood-alcohol level of 0.1 or more, The Wausau Daily Herald reported.

Strey is heard on the call asking if she should turn the car off and put her hazard lights on.

Police said Strey told them she had had seven or eight brandy and Cokes at different bars and was on her way home when she called, WQOW TV reported.

I kind of admire this lady for trying to be safe and get off the road but I think she could have handled it another way. If she was that drunk she might have considered pulling over and calling someone to pick her up. I mean, she did have a phone. Plus, if she had money for several brandy and cokes, she probably had money for a cab. As is I think this lady is definitely going in the dumbass Hall of Fame.
