Man calls police to report himself for drink driving

An overly honest man reported himself to police for drink driving, in one of the most bizarre 911 calls ever. Michael Lester, of Polk County in Florida, called 911 on New Year’s Eve and told the operator he had been drink driving ‘all night’.

He could not even tell the operator where he was when asked, he told her ‘I don’t know, I’m too drunk.’ However, he was reticent to give his surname, when asked he said: ‘I think I’m going to get something to eat, they can catch up with me.’ He said when asked again: ‘No, I don’t feel like giving that to you right now.’

Polk County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that nobody had been hurt during the incident when they released the audio of Lester’s call. The call lasted for several minutes and he even claimed he was driving on the wrong side of the road as car horns could be heard. He told them he drank four beers and also swallowed some meth, the Sheriff’s Office said.
