Drunken driver arrests himself

IOWA CITY, Iowa — A 25-year-old man called 911 to report a drunken driver — himself.

According to the Iowa City Press-Citizen, local police said Francisco Castro called the emergency number around 8:30 Christmas morning. Officers found the man sitting in the driver’s seat of a running vehicle.

Police say Castro told officers that he called 911 because he thought he was too drunk to drive. A test showed his blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit.
