Man Drives Drunk to Register as Sex Offender With Cops

We can understand that you're not happy being officially classified as a sex offender. Or that you actually have to go somewhere end have the paperwork processed. But boozing it up ahead of time--especially when you have to visit the cops--is probably not the best idea. Then again, if it was, would this guy's story be here?

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.
