Chatty Woman Tells 911 She is "Absolutely" Drunk and Driving, Says Police
EAST LANSING, Mich. (CBS/AP) A chatty suspected drunk driver apparently had a 20-minute conversation with a 911 dispatcher before she was pulled over and arrested.
Michigan Police have released a copy of the March 13 emergency call, where, in the first moments, the dispatcher asks, "Are you intoxicated?" and the woman replies, "Absolutely."
The dispatcher pleads with the woman to pull over, and the woman lets the dispatcher know that she "shouldn't be driving."
The dispatcher helped officers find the driver in East Lansing.
Police say the 27-year-old Charlotte resident placed the call at 5:40 a.m.
The woman was issued a citation for operating while intoxicated and faces up to 90 days in jail. Her name has not been released.
Police released the call Friday to The Associated Press under a Freedom of Information Act request for all to enjoy.
