PAW PAW, Mich. – One is a building with bars. The other is a building with a bar. A very drunk woman apparently had trouble telling them apart and ended up in a southwestern Michigan jail cell.
The Van Buren County sheriff’s department says a 39-year-old woman mistook the Van Buren County jail for the bar where she was trying to pick up her boyfriend.

The department says Deputy Robert Miersma spotted the woman backing into the jail parking lot in Paw Paw about 2 a.m. Sunday and noticed she smelled of alcohol and appeared intoxicated.
It says a breath test showed her with more than twice the 0.08 per cent blood alcohol considered drunk in Michigan. She’s expected to face drunken driving charges.
Paw Paw is about 25 kilometres west-southwest of Kalamazoo.
