This alleged drunk driver took matters into his own hands and drove right to his own arrest. The story comes from Louisiana, where state police say Patrick Ruffner, 31, drove to Troop A headquarters while under the influence in order to file a report about an earlier hit-and-run accident.

According to the Associated Press, Trooper Jared Sandifer says Ruffner called state police Saturday, saying he had been in a hit-and-run crash on Interstate 10 in Baton Rouge. He was told to come to Troop A to fill out a crash report.

The officer says that when Ruffner got out of his SUV, a trooper smelled alcohol and gave him a field sobriety test and a breath test, AP is reporting. Ruffner was booked with driving on a suspended license and with first-offense DWI, according to AP.

Online booking records indicate that Patrick Ruffner remains in the East Baton Rouge Parish jail Monday, his bond set at $1,000.
