Two odd cases recently surfaced about criminals who called the cops on themselves:

Neilsville, Wis.—A 911 dispatcher recently received a call from 49-year-old Mary Strey who wanted to report a drunk driver. The dispatcher asked if Strey was currently behind the drink driver on the freeway. Strey reportedly answered, “I am them.” The dispatcher quickly instructed Strey to pull over to the side of the road and turn her hazard lights on, where she was found by sheriff’s deputies and cited for misdemeanor drunken driving.

Brant Township, Mich.—A 54-year-old woman called Saginaw County Sheriff’s Deputies to report a theft early last Sunday morning. When a detective arrived, the woman informed him that two men had broken into her home and demanded that she hand over her marijuana plants, then fled. The woman said that she grew and used the plants for medicinal purposes, but she was promptly arrested on charges of manufacturing and delivering marijuana. (source)

We’re thankful that these ne’er-do-wells had the foresight to call the cops to report their questionable behavior. I wish more criminals would do the same. It would save us all a lot of time and effort.
