FOX LAKE, Wis. (AP) -- The Dodge County woman whose boyfriend convinced her to call 911 because she was driving drunk has second thoughts about turning herself in.

Pat Dykstra tells WTMJ-TV that she was driving home from the bar early Sunday because her boyfriend was too intoxicated. Dykstra says she doesn't know why she let him convince her to call 911. Now Dykstra has a $740 OWI ticket and a mark on her driving record.

Dykstra called 911 from her cell while driving, then hung up. She got a call back from sheriff's officials and told them her boyfriend thought she shouldn't be driving, then gave a description of her vehicle.

Authorities later found Dykstra at home in the Town of Fox Lake getting ready for bed. Deputies gave her a citation after she failed a sobriety test.

Dodge County Sheriff Todd Nehls says Dykstra did the right thing by calling them. Nehls says maybe a judge will think her call was commendable.
