Pa. man drove drunk to Megan’s Law meeting

GREENSBURG, Pa. (AP) — 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.
