Drunk wrong-way driver shows cop Barnes & Noble gift card instead of ID

A drunk wrong-way driver accidentally showed a cop her Barnes & Noble card instead of her ID after getting pulled over.

A deputy from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office spotted the vehicle on Sheldon Road, near Tampa International Airport, Florida at 12:30 in the early hours of Sunday (12 April).

Police footage shows 52-year-old Kami Ellis being pulled over from the wrong side of the road, before she mistakenly presented her credit card and then a Barnes & Noble gift card, instead of her driver's license.

Following an investigation and an on-scene field sobriety test, she was charged with driving under the influence.
