No good deed goes unpunished.
An alleged drunk driver unwittingly handed himself over to Nebraska police when he reported someone else traveling in the wrong direction.
As it turns out, he was the culprit.
Hilarious video shared by the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office Thursday captured the bizarre incident that unfolded in March.
The man told dispatchers that someone driving a truck “on the wrong side of” Highway 77 in Lancaster County nearly “ran him off the road.”
Though rattled by the close call, the drunk driver gave officers clear coordinates of where the collision nearly happened — and the perfect opportunity to hunt him down.
When a deputy pulled the man over just moments later, the driver immediately realized what he had done.
“Do you know why I stopped you?” the officer asked.
“Yeah, because I was on the wrong side of the road,” the man responded, chalking the error up to a missed exit.
The driver was caught with a blood alcohol content over twice the legal limit, prompting police to arrest him and put him in the back of the patrol car.
The man instantly confessed to calling 911 on himself when the deputy realized who he had in custody.
“Yep, because I thought someone was on the wrong side of the f–king road, bro,” he said.
“But it turned out it was you?” asked the deputy.
“Yep, like a dumb f–k,” the drunk driver admitted.
