'I'm so drunk!' Woman Periscopes drunken drive before arrest

A woman has been charged with driving under the influence after streaming a live video from behind the wheel in which she declared: “I’m so drunk”.

Footage released by police in Florida showed Whitney Beall, 23, discussing how inebriated she is from behind the wheel as she streams her drive home using the Periscope app.

“I'm super drunk right now, in a place I really don't want to be in,” she says. “All the way home people, I'm going to be drunk.”

Parked at a red light – and apparently unaware she was driving with a flat tyre - she told her followers to send her any messages and expressed surprise when she saw 57 people were following her. She said one follower told her to keep her eyes on the road.

"I can't even believe I'm Periscoping right now," she said. "I'm not even paying attention to the driving. ... Please supervise me right now because I'm driving super drunk right now."

At one point she even added: “Let's see if I can make it all the way home, people, without a ticket.”

Lakeland Police department released video footage of the incident and confirmed that Beall had been charged with driving under the influence.
