A suspected drunken driver in Michigan told cops after a highway crash to just get it over with and take him to jail.
Police dashcam video showed Aaron Zueno, 25, of Livonia, being given a field sobriety test after the May 13 hit-and-run crash on I-275 in Plymouth Township, Fox 2 Detroit reported this week.
Cops said they responded to the scene after a caller said Zueno hit her and then tried to take off. Cops said Zueno admitted he had been drinking.

“What?” the officer says.

“That doesn’t work man, just a big myth,” the cops tells Zueno, according to the video.
