“Drinking and driving don’t mix, but it’s an especially dangerous cocktail when you’re live streaming your wild ride on Periscope.
Police in Lakeland, Florida, arrested 23-year-old Whitney Beall Friday night after receiving 911 calls from Periscope viewers reporting that a drunken driver was using the app to broadcast herself, according to WFTV.com.
Periscope is an app owned by Twitter that lets people livestream events over social media.
Police said Beall told viewers she was “drunk,” F—ing drunk,” and didn’t know where she was. At one point, she said had a flat tire, according to Fox13.com.
Thanks to numerous 911 calls, officers were able to track down her Toyota Corolla.”
