Man Already Facing DUI Charge Allegedly Drives Drunk To Police Station
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."
He should have been more careful after previous drunken driving charge yet he showed up drunk to be fingerprinted. As a DUI case is treated equal as just as any other major criminal offense, so it makes no difference between a major and minor offenses when it comes to DUI. Nevertheless, you have ways to defend yourself against DUI charges and get back to normal life. I remember, it was a difficult time for us when we were finding a Los Angeles DUI lawyer as he got charged for DUI couple of years ago.
