Employees of a Florida sheriff’s department has some fun recently at the expense of a suspected drunk driver who called 911 for advice.

According to CBS News, Michael Lester contacted dispatchers on New Year’s Eve to make a report Polk County authorities have since released on social media.

“Allow us to introduce Michael Lester of Winter Haven,” the agency wrote. “On New Year’s Eve, Michael decided to call in a drunk driver. Himself. If you need to take a second to re-read that sentence, to let it sink in, we’ll wait.”

“I’m too drunk,” the motorist said in his call. “I don’t know where I’m at.”

He later indicated he was “driving on the wrong side of the road.”

The dispatcher engaged the caller in conversation, keeping him on the line and attempting to convince him to pull over. At one point the 911 operator reportedly asked Lester what he had been doing that evening.

“I don’t know,” he said, “driving around, trying to get pulled over, actually.”

He finally advised the dispatcher that he had stopped driving, though he acknowledged he was “parked in the middle of the road.”

Shortly thereafter, authorities arrived and he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Lester reportedly later admitted to drinking alcohol and ingesting methamphetamine prior to getting behind the wheel.

Before ending his 911 call, the suspect told the dispatcher to “have a nice night.”

The sheriff’s office posted the audio of his call and a lengthy Facebook post as a warning to other motorists about the dangers of driving impaired. Officers also admitted to sharing a laugh in light of the unusual call, though.

Several lighthearted hashtags followed the agency’s post, including #Best911CallWeveHeardInAWhile.
