Mary M. Strey has no one to blame but herself after drinking, driving and dialing 9-1-1 to say she's drunk.

Strey called Clarke County, Wisconsin dispatchers over the weekend to report she had a little too much before getting behind the wheel.

Here is part of the conversation between her and the dispatcher:

Dispatcher: Clark County 911.

Mary M. Strey: Somebody's really drunk, driving down Granton Road.

Dispatcher: OK, where at, on Granton Road?

Mary M. Strey: Ah, there's only like six miles drive through Granton and Neillsville.

Dispatcher: Which way are they going?

Mary M. Strey: They are going, um.

Dispatcher: Toward Granton or going toward Neillsville?

Mary M. Strey: Towards Granton.

Dispatcher: OK, are you behind them, or?

Mary M. Strey: No, I am them.

Dispatcher: You am them?

Mary M. Strey: Yes, I am them?

Dispatcher: OK, so you want to call in and report that you're driving drunk?

Mary M. Strey: Yes.


The dispatcher told Strey to pull over and wait for cops.

She failed a sobriety test and was arrested.
