Patrons of a local bar persuaded Pat Dykstra, 51, that she was too drunk to drive home. So … taking responsibility she decided to call 911 from her truck to ask for a sheriff to be sent over to follow her home.
She ended her call to the police dispatcher by explaining how dangerous it was for her to be driving while on the phone!
when the deputies eventually caught up with Dykstra her alcohol reading was .14 which is well over the maximum permitted.
Looks like those concerned bar patrons should have taken away her keys! Luckily she didn’t get into or cause an accident.
Why didn’t the bar owner take her keys away????
I wish someone would have taken away the keys of the drunk guy who soared through my yard last night taking out all the neighbors mailboxes!
Haha. I bet she’s not the brightest even when sober.
Yeah it seems they should have taken those keys away. Oh well good thing she got caught and not hurt herself or anyone else. Funny story though.
I think she did well to get out of bad situation and avoid any accidents but I think its better that she would have picked a taxi and go back home rather than driving her own car.
Ok… not that bright! And why didn’t she just call a cab home?
she was wasted! So obviously she wasn’t in her right mind. The people at the bar could’ve taken matters a little more seriously then just saying, “hey, don’t drive”. If something bad would’ve happened, that bar would have been in deep deep trouble.
