Woman Reports Drunk Driver to 911: Herself

Mary Strey decided to be a good citizen and report a drunk driver, someone apparently weaving around on the roadway. The only strange part was that Mary Strey was reporting herself (call below).

Mary Strey, 49, of Granton, Wisc., called 9-11 and said: "Somebody's really drunk driving down Granton Road."

When questioned further about the drunk driver, and whether she was behind them, Strey added: "No. I am them."

The surprised dispatcher replied, "You am them?" The conversation continued:
Strey: Yes, I am them.

Dispatcher: OK, so you want to call and repor that you're driving drunk?

S: Yes.

D: OK, what's your name?

S: Mary.

D: OK, hold on one second, Mary, OK?

S: Yes.

D: Are you still driving right now?

S: Yes.

D: Do you want to stop driving before you get in an accident?

S: Yes, I will stop.

D: OK, you gonna stop right now?

S: Yes, I will stop right now.

D: OK, just hold on a second, OK.

S: OK, I'm stopping.

D: OK, just hang on the phone, OK?
At least Strey was sober enough to realize she was too drunk to drive. It's still hilarious that she reported herself.

Strey asked if many people reported themselves as drunk driving, to which the dispatcher laughed and said, "No."
