BISMARCK, N.D. - 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."

The girl told authorities her location shortly before midnight Wednesday and officers found her in a parked car near downtown, Ziegler said. She failed a sobriety test and was arrested for failing to have control of her vehicle while intoxicated.

The girl, whose name was not released because of her age, was not cited for drunken driving, Ziegler said.

"Her keys were in her purse and she was parked," Ziegler said. "She did tell us that she had been driving around for hours."

The call probably was a plea for help, he said.

"She told us her life was spiraling out of control, and she had spent the majority of time drinking over the past two weeks," Ziegler said.

The girl was released to her parents Thursday.

Ha, ha. That's a new one to me. This is even weirder than the drunk blind driver that I heard about years ago. The weirdest part is that he was born sighted but became blind as a result of a drunken driving accident.

i guess some people never learn, do they?
 
this is just a guess on my part, but perhaps she was also mentally ill and suffering some form of depression which is why she initiated the call to police. hmmm.
 
Very...plain...stupid.

If shes so trashed to drive, at least call a damn cab.
 
Yeah, It's odd to see the alleged offender reporting on herself for driving under the influence - but - in a way, I think it is good that she did it because if she didn't call herself in, She could have possibly caused a lot more harm by getting in an accident or killing someone else while driving under the influence.
