Man Shows up Drunk at Intoxication Hearing

A Gwinnett County (GA)  is being accused of showing up drunk to a hearing at the city's municipal court to answer to previous public intoxication charges.

Police charged 49-year-old Phillip Ingram with being under the influence at City Hall.

An officer believed he smelled alcohol coming from Ingram Tuesday. Ingram was checking in at Lawrenceville Municipal Court on a public intoxication charge about 1 p.m.

The officer confronted Ingram and police say a breath analysis later registered his blood alcohol level at .14, nearly twice the limit for driving. 

Well, so much for that hearing.
