A woman was arrested for a DUI after driving to a sheriff’s station to pick up her boyfriend who had already been arrested for drunk driving.
A sergeant at the Stark County Sheriff’s Office in Ohio called Brandi Rae Coen, 29, to come pick up her boyfriend after he had been arrested for a DUI.
The official said that Coen sounded intoxicated on the phone, and he told her not to drive if she had been drinking. She claimed she was not drunk and could drive.

As the sergeant approached the car and smelled alcohol, according to ABC 5. When he reached the car, he found an empty 12-pack of beer as well as another 12-pack with several beers missing.
