Whitney Beall, a resident of Lakeland, Florida, did several reckless things last night. Not only did she choose to drive her car under the influence of alcohol, but she decided to livestream her wild ride on Periscope, resulting in her own arrest.
The WTSP 10 News reports that his 23-time viewer Periscope saw in live stream her accomplishments and called 911, saying that Beall has repeatedly stated online that she is drunk and that she was driving around the North Lakeland.
He also said he had a broken rubber.
The caller had guessed the drunk driver's location from the details of the area seen through her car windows. Officers located Beall's livestream, watched it and soon identified Carpenters Way where they spotted the car with a flat front tire and she was arrested.
Beall was tested for intoxication with machine was found to have exceeded the alcohol limit and was then taken to Polk County Jail.
