Florida man calls 911 on himself while drunk driving
An overly honest man reported himself to police for drink driving, in one of the most weird 911 calls ever.
Michael Lester called police to alert them he was driving drunk on New Year's Eve, Dec. 31, 2017, in Polk County, Florida.
He said when asked again: 'No, I don't feel like giving that to you right now'. The 39-year-old told the dispatcher he was driving drunk "all over Winter Haven" and that "he neededto be pulled over", according to a release from the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
Polk County Sheriff's officials say the dispatcher kept him talking while directing officers to the scene.
"I don't know, I'm just drunk", he can be heard telling the female dispatcher who asks for his location.
The operator repeatedly directed Lester to pull over.
