Pennsylvania Labor Sec too drunk to sign her drunkenness citation

Sandy Vito (pictured) has been acting Labor Secretary for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania since February 2008. She awaits a Senate vote on naming her to the position permanently.

Police say Vito was too drunk to sign a citation issued to her for public drunkenness.

The citation against Vito, which carries a $200 fine, was filed in District Judge Joseph Solomon's office Wednesday, a week after Vito was cited with public drunkenness at the Harrisburg Hilton.

Vito was found "extremely intoxicated" inside the hotel bar, according to Officer Amy Bright, who issued the citation. The document also said Vito was shouting an obscenity at Bright and others.
