UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Police say a Pennsylvania man showed up drunk to be fingerprinted for a previous drunken driving charge and earned himself another one in the process.
Online court records don't list an attorney for 41-year-old Kevin Kroll, of Dunbar Township. He faces a preliminary hearing June 30 on charges of drunken driving and public drunkenness for the Feb. 20 incident.
That's when Uniontown police say Kroll walked in smelling of alcohol when he arrived to be fingerprinted for a Jan. 9 drunken driving incident.
The officer smelled alcohol and gave Kroll a breath test — and later a blood test — both of which showed he was legally intoxicated.
Uniontown Lt. Tom Kolencik says, "To come in intoxicated is disrespectful to the judicial system and disrespectful to the police."
When I was researching "Queen of Southgate" I offered to take a women to court in Raleigh on a trespassing charge that was several years old. While waiting for her to get ready she smoked three crack rocks and on the ride to court she downed a quart of rose wine. She was dressed like a clown in raggedy clothes and shoes 4 sizes to large. She was three hours late for court, stoned and drunk, and was given a new court date and dismissed. I thought for sure she would get locked up but I guess the judge knew that it really would not do the woman any good.
