Double eejit

A Pennsylvania man who arrived at court drunk for a drunken-driving hearing was again charged with driving under the influence, police said.

Paul H. Zeigler, 45, of Glen Rock, appeared at a preliminary hearing at the Shrewsbury district court on March 26 for a DUI charge from December.

Police said Zeigler appeared to be intoxicated at the hearing, according to police records.

After his court appearance, Zeigler failed a portable breath test for alcohol and was taken into custody for a blood test, police said.

The second test revealed that Zeigler's blood-alcohol level was twice the legal driving limit and he was charged with DUI, police said.

what a mess..and they will hold him till he makes bail..he will get out and do it again, until he has a wreck and kills all the occupants in the other car and he won't have a scratch and THEN.. they will send his ass to jail...what a joke...

I saw a news item ,where some States are adding a breathalyser to DUIers cars which immobilizes it if they've been drinking. It won't start unless it's breathed into.
