Indiana Man Calls 9-1-1 and Reports He’s Driving Drunk

External News Source April 8, 2013 Industry

ROSELAWN, Ind. (AP) — A northern Indiana man who called 9-1-1 and told dispatchers he was driving drunk and needed to be taken off the road got his wish when a sheriff’s deputy arrived.

State Police say 24-year-old Matthew Devore of Logansport was arrested early Monday along Interstate 65 in Jasper County. Police said Devore had a blood-alcohol level of .09, just over Indiana’s legal limit for driving. He was being held at the Jasper County Jail on a driving while intoxicated charge.

State Police say Devore lost control of his car early Monday and it ended up in a grassy median with a flat tire.

Police say Devore then called 9-1-1, saying he was a drunk and needed to be taken off the road. A sheriff’s deputy was then dispatched to the scene.
