New York State Man Allegedly Drove to Police Station While Drunk

Sometimes you read a headline that you're not quite sure if it's really real. But sometimes people aren't always known for making the right choices with their lives.

Authorities say a man in New York state was arrested for driving nearly three times over the state's legal BAC limit. But what makes this case really stand out is that police say the suspect actually got in his vehicle, and drove straight to police headquarters in that condition. He literally brought himself to the police.

While his decision may seem a bit boneheaded, stories such as this can happen more often than you think. In August, a suspect drove to the State Police barracks in Chestertown to be processed on a prior charge. Troopers said though that they witnessed the suspect showing signs of impairment while being taken into custody.
