Woman calls 911 to report herself as drunk driver

(AP) – 2 days ago

NEILSVILLE, Wis. — 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."

It was unclear if Strey has hired an attorney yet.

Fucked up thing is the cops wont have any leniency on her at all. When shes doing the best she could. What you think would have happened if she was a cop? A free ride home or an escort sounds about right. Fucking backwards ass justice system.

Yup, should have just called a friend or something. "hey i am drunk as fuck, come pick me up or i'll get a DUI...I'll give you like 20 bucks for gas money if you want". 20 bucks a lot cheaper than the fines she's probably facing.
