An 18-year-old Arkansas man turned himself in for underage drinking and insisted on going to jail, authorities said.

The man called police on Thursday, saying he was underage and drinking at his apartment.

When officers arrived, the man came out of his home, put his hands in the air and said, "Here I am, I will go peacefully."

The man then gave his name, and said he was drinking underage and that he needed to go to jail.

The man said he was drinking because he was having a bad day.

An officer gave the man the chance to go back inside his apartment and sober up, but he insisted on going to jail.

The man was arrested on a charge of public intoxication and taken to the Crawford County Detention Center. His blood alcohol content was measured at .112.

He bonded out of jail after getting sober.
