Man called 911 to report drunk driver who happened to be himself

A Florida gentleman who had been drinking, taking meth, and who hadn't slept in several days did the responsible thing when he called the police to report a drunk driver - namely himself.

Im too drunk. I dont know where Im at, the driver, Michael Lester, told the dispatcher.

When the operator asked what he'd been doing that night, he said, I dont know, driving around, trying to get pulled over, actually. He later added, Im driving on the wrong side of the road."

When asked to pull over to the side of road to wait for police, the man kinda did what he was told, but not exactly. Look, Im parked in the middle of the road, he said.

Fortunately nobody was hurt.

According to AP:

The sheriffs office Facebook post says Lesters criminal history includes DUI, aggravated battery, drug possession and hit-and-run.

Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious crime. Innocent people are too often injured or killed from impaired drivers. DUI is not a laughing matter, sheriffs officials wrote. However ... in this particular incident, nobody was hurt, so we couldnt help but LOTO (that means we Laughed Our Tasers Off).
