Sozzled Teen Calls 911, Reports Drunk Driving: Hers

"Teen turns herself in to police"
Bismarck Tribune (January 2, 2009)

"A 17-year-old Bismarck girl turned herself into police New Year's Eve for drinking and driving, one of just two drinking and driving related arrests over the holiday...."

" 'Hello 911? I'm driving drunk' "
The Associated Press (January 2, 2008)

"BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Police get calls about drunken drivers all the time, but rarely do they come from the alleged offender. A 17-year-old girl in Bismarck called 911 on New Year's Eve 'to report herself driving under the influence,' police Lt. Randy Ziegler said. 'I've never heard of such a thing happening, and neither has anyone here.'..."

When the police came to pick her up, she had the car keys in her purse, and a lot of alcohol in her blood. She said that her life had been "spiraling out of control," and that she'd spent much of the last two weeks drinking.

Smart move, though, calling 911.
