A woman was arrested after live-streaming her adventures driving drunk. Using Periscope, Whitney Beall said she was streaming herself driving drunk for “entertainment purposes,” at one point saying that she thought her tire might be flat.
In the video released by police, Beall, 23, is seen driving while videotaping herself on the popular live social media app.

Lakeland police say Beall received numerous text message to stop driving before she killed someone or herself. Beall told her viewers she was “drunk,” “f—ing drunk,” said she had a flat tire, and also said she didn’t know where she was. “I really hope I don’t get a DUI,” she says seconds before she hits a sign in the median, which was also caught on video. “I’m really drunk, and I’m drunk on I-4,” she says, even though she was not on Interstate 4. A caller told 911 she was driving in north Lakeland and couldn’t provide an exact location but said he was watching the video on the live stream.
Authorities used a Periscope account to help locate Beall and spotted her driving a Toyota Corolla with a flat left front tire.
