Man shows up drunk to be fingerprinted for previous DUI, say Pa. cops

UNIONTOWN, Pa. - Police say a Pennsylvania man showed up drunk to be fingerprinted for a previous drunken driving charge, earning himself another one in the process.

Forty-one-year-old Kevin Kroll, of Dunbar Township, 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.

"He would have probably had to have been close to death the night before for it to be that the next day. It was very high," Uniontown police Lt. Tom Kolencik told CBS Pittsburgh.

"To come in intoxicated is disrespectful to the judicial system and disrespectful to the police," Kolencik added.
