Police: 'I Can't do This, Just Arrest Me,' Says Woman During Sobriety Test

Cops arrested an Orland Hills woman a week ago who they said threw in the towel during a sobriety test.

While being sobriety tested on Friday, an Orland Hills woman told police she drank "two beers, then two more beers" before getting behind the wheel, according to police.

Officers pulled over Kelli J. Bordner, 27, of the 9200 block of 169th Place around 3 a.m. near the intersection of 191st Street and Brookside Glen Drive in Tinley Park. They said she disregarded a red light, three "no turn on red" signs and was weaving in her lane before they stopped her.

Tinley police said they noticed Bordner's eyes were bloodshot and that she smelled like alcohol. She agreed to perform field sobriety tests and told police she drank "two beers, then two more beers," over the last three hours or so, according to the report. She failed the first two tests and while performing the third, walk and turn test told police "I can't do this, just arrest me," the report said.
