Drunk driver helpfully calls police
Tuesday, January 20, 2009
A drunk driver who 'borrowed' his uncle's car, and then promptly crashed it, made the police's job easier by phoning them up to alert them to his crimes.
The 21-year-old from Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, decided to take his uncle's car when he needed to get some cigarettes at 1.30am, after drinking heavily.
His uncle, who he lives with, was sleeping at the time.
He made it half a mile down the road before the inevitable happened, and he crashed, rolling the car over in the process.
It was at this point that he thought the police would like to know about that sort of thing, and called them up. He also noted that he didn't have a driving license.
He now faces charges of taking and driving a vehicle without the owner's consent, which could land him with up to six years in prison.
