A polite woman in Michigan saved the cops a lot of trouble on Sunday morning when she pulled into a sheriff's office parking lot because she thought the jail there was a bar, according to authorities. 

Officers reportedly watched the woman backing her vehicle up in the parking lot as she tried to convince her boyfriend (who was surely enjoying himself) to get back in the car with her.   

The Associated Press referred to the 39-year-old woman by the technical term "super drunk," and reports that she blew more than twice the legal limit on a breathalyzer test. 

MLive reports: 


A deputy then made contact with the driver and discovered she smelled heavily of intoxicants and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, the release stated ... The woman later admitted to police that she had just left a bar in town and had thought she was pulling into the parking lot of another bar when she arrived at the sheriff's office.

The woman was booked into the jail and was expected to face DUI charges.
