PA- Police: Pa. man drove drunk to Megan's Law meeting

This is one where the judge should drop the charge. Why? Hey, he was doing his duty, he showed up -and apparently on time- to register as required by law. The law says nothing about him having to be sober when registering, if he got inside the building he was walking, errrr maybe staggering. Judge, drop the charge... likely being on the registry caused his drinking.

9-1-2009 Pennsylvania:

REENSBURG, Pa. - A convicted child sex offender has been charged with drunken driving because he allegedly showed up intoxicated when he registered under Megan's Law at a western Pennsylvania state police barracks.

State police in Greensburg say 37-year-old Jerry Cignetti, of Bradenville, showed up drunk on Friday. Court records show he was convicted in Westmoreland County in 1998 for the indecent assault of a child under 13. He was paroled but had to register as a sex offender once his sentence was completed.

Police say he drove alone to the barracks and had a blood-alcohol content of 0.12 percent, well above the state's 0.08 percent limit for drivers. That's why he was charged with drunken driving.

Cignetti's phone is disconnected and court records don't list an attorney for him. ..Source.. by philly.com
