Woman Calls 911 To Report Her Own DUI

http://www.wesh.com/irresistible/21501316/detail.html

NEILSVILLE, Wis. -- The call came into the 911 dispatcher: "I don't want to hurt anybody. I'm drunk."

With that, Mary Strey, 49, of Granton, reported herself as a drunken driver about 3 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."

Personally, I hope they give her just a slap on the fingers. Cos believe me, TOO MANY people get behind the wheel when they've had more than a drink or 2. And it happens too often where somebody gets hurt from it. She was in the right mind to realize she was doing the wrong thing, and STOPPED! No one told her that, SHE knew it. I'll grant that she shouldn't be driving in the first place, but at least she was able to come to this realization, stop, and drop it. That's better than full risk. Give her some credit where credit is due

(And yes, I'm very adamant about this subject)

I personally know some people who's lives have been turned upside down and ruined because their loved ones were killed by Drunk Drivers.

I knew someone pretty well who committed such an atrocity and had no remorse at all.

It just boggles the mind that anyone would think it is acceptable.

My co-worker lost his 18 year old daughter then the following year lost his wife. Yes both of them to Drunk Drivers. Hard to imagine isn't it?

I guess you could say I am adamant too.

If you disagree then maybe you should try what it feels like to have a loved one that was killed by a drunk driver.

Agreed. My cousin was lost to a drunk driver. And on top of that, my other cousin, her sister, almost had the same fate that night, not to mention their respective b/fs of the time. I don't know and/or recall what happened to them. Had the guy driving that night had the same intelligence the woman of the story did, I'd have gotten to know my one cousin better than 2 visits

Brilliant! It never dawned on her to call a frikkin' TAXI.

I would love to hear an audio clip of the 911 call.
