Drunk driver mistakes jail for bar
PAW PAW, MICHIGAN -- Heard the one about a woman who walked into a bar? Or should that be behind bars?
Cops say a really drunk woman had trouble telling them apart when she mistook Michigan's Van Buren County jail for the bar for a bar where she was trying to pick up her boyfriend.
A deputy spotted the 39-year-old backing into the jail at about 2 a.m. Sunday and noticed she smelled of alcohol and appeared intoxicated, according to the Van Buren County Sheriff's Dept.
A breath test showed she had more than twice the 0.08 percent blood alcohol, considered drunk in Michigan and she will now face drunken driving charges.
