Girl blames kiss for DUI

May 31st, 2008 by | Permalink

Guess Gianna is the type of girl to kiss and tell. After she was pulled over and later slapped with a DUI, she blamed a previous kiss with a drunken boy with transferring the illegal blood alcohol level to her.

So, not only is she dumb, but apparently she thinks the rest of us are too.

Gianna Vigliotti, who was pulled over by police as she swerved in and out of her lane on Northern Boulevard in Manhasset Friday night, said that’s exactly what happened to her, according to court documents.

After the 17-year-old from Glen Cove recorded a .15 percent blood-alcohol level in a portable breath test – nearly the twice the legal limit of .08 percent – she told the officer who pulled her over, “I didn’t drink! I was kissing a boy who was drunk,” according to the police report.

It made no difference to Officer Michael Pallazzo whether Vigliotti’s speech was slurred from smooching or from swigging.

    Idiot. UMiami must be thrilled she is coming in the fall.

  • prescott

    Now if she had blamed KISS for her DUI, this would be a much different story.

  • harassing minors is pathetic

    what’s absolutely pathetic the media’s attempt to harass Gianna. She is a minor, she made a mistake, and she is paying the consequences. Obviously if she was drunk and nervous and not thinking in the first place when she drove, it makes sense she would say something ridiculous like that on the spot, especially being a 17 year old who had never gotten in trouble before. This is not grounds for the media to target and publicly humiliate her.

    Perhaps before you label someone a “dumbass” you should have some facts. Your article doesn’t contain many, and the ones you do have appear to be wrong. Was the girl, in fact, drunk? Did they later establish that through a blood test? The “portable breath test” doesn’t actually measure blood alcohol levels; it estimates them based on the proportion of alcohol molecules in your breath. Is it possible for enough molecules to be transferred through kissing to trigger a false positive on a breath test? I have no idea. Perhaps you should have asked a manufacturer of such products before attacking the girl. I would also point out that your assertion that “she blamed a previous kiss with a drunken boy with transferring the illegal blood alcohol level to her” doesn’t fit with the story and doesn’t make sense. It sounds to me like her claim was that the kiss triggered a false reading on the breathalyzer; not that it changed her blood alcohol level. If you’re not going to collect any facts, check any facts, or use any logic, then you have no basis for making the accusation, which makes you more deserving of the award in question than the girl you so smugly targeted.

    this girl was an innocent 17 year old, scared and didn’t know what to do. she panicked and obviously made up an excuse, if there’s a person out there that thinks this is what she acutally did I would love to hear their arguement. I feel for this young girl that obviously learned her lesson. She is now beyond her years in experience and is a successful young woman.
