Woman Calls 911 To Report Her Own DUI

Wisconsin Woman Doesn't Want To Hurt Others

POSTED: 4:57 pm EST November 2, 2009

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."
