PORTLAND, Maine — A woman accused of driving drunk blamed her GPS for her attempt to drive down stairs at a police station, cops said.

The 26-year-old drove through the police department’s garage and across its “pedestrian plaza” in Portland, Maine, the Portland Police Department said in a Facebook post on Saturday, April 30.

She then tried to drive her SUV down a flight of stairs to get to the street, police said.

The woman told officers that she was following instructions from her GPS, according to police.

“But responding officers felt it was her excessive blood alcohol level,” the police department wrote.

The driver, who was not named, was “issued a summons for OUI.”

“We are fortunate that she didn’t strike anyone and this ended with just a small amount of property damage,” police said. “Please don’t drink and drive.”

How did they get her out of the vehicle??? No room to open the doors. Did they pull her out the back?

Was she beeping her horn at any officers trying to come up that stairway?

A male driver doing that would have been named, photographed and maybe even interviewed from the slammer.

This is a Florida Man maneuver.

Florida man would have another twist to it, which makes Florida man stories different. Florida man would be drinking moonshine out of an old Quaker State jug, or would take out a toy light saber when the police arrived, that sort of thing.

And he'd be naked.

Maybe it is. Can’t tell because her tag is blacked out.
