Dateline, Boston:
In this story, it was the drunk driver who pulled over the police officer.
"He pulled up behind me, rolled down the passenger side window and said he was looking for a police officer to arrest him," Ian McCollin, chief of police in Vernon VT., said in an interview Wedensday."When I asked him why, he replied,'I'm drunk."
To make matters worse, the drunk driver was operating on a suspended license, which was taken away after a previous drunk driving charge, McCollin said.
Bryan Condo, 28, was driving on a quiet Vermont road at night when he asked McCollin to take him in. Since drivers rarely pull over police cruicers, a cautious mcCollin called a colleague for backup with an amused, " You won't believe this one."
"I was a little concerned, but I also wanted him to hear the story, too," he said. " I was afraid they'd think I was senile or losing my mind."
Police discovered Condo, a resident of North Pownal in western Vermont, was four times over the legal limit and charged him with driving under the influence as well as driving without a license.
Condo was released hours after his arrest and will be arrainged on Aug. 17. He could not be reached for comment.
"This guy was hilarious, " McCollin said. " And he was very cooperative and polite, unlike your average drunk driver."

I would like to see someone pull the cops over saying:
"Officers, I just robbed a bank!"
