Mary Strey of Granton is being charged with operating while under the influence, after she called 911 to report that she was driving drunk late Saturday night.
“Somebody’s really drunk driving down Granton Road”, the caller stated when a 911 dispatcher answered the phone.
The dispatcher later asked if the caller was behind the drunk driver, to which the caller replied “No, I am them.”
The dispatcher later asked if the caller was behind the drunk driver, to which the caller replied “No, I am them.”
The dispatcher asked, “Okay, so you’re calling to report you’re driving drunk?”
She replied, “Yes.” Later, she stated, "I was drinking all over, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be driving".
The dispatcher told Strey to pull her vehicle over, and she complied. She waited for a deputy to arrive with her hazard lights flashing. According to the police report, Strey failed field sobriety tests, and a preliminary breath test showed she had a blood alcohol content of .19, more than twice the legal limit to drive.
She was given a citation for operating a vehicle with a prohibited alcohol content of .10 or more. She’s due in court in December, facing charges of first offense operating under the influence.

She made a mistake and stoppped before her mistake lead to an accident or death. I hope she will be helped, not punished for being honest. I think its sad that she couldn't call a friend or family member to come get her when she realized that she was drunk.
