Official Passes out in Meeting with Whiskey Bottle

Many of us dread work meetings and may need a little pick-me-up to help get us through like a soda or afternoon coffee.
For the most part, the meeting is over in an hour or two and we move on about our day. That was not the case for one Lehigh Valley, Pa. government official.
According to police, elected Plainfield Township Supervisors Chairman Tim Frankenfield passed out drunk at a public meeting with a bottle of whiskey next to him.
Frankenfield, who had a blood alcohol content of more than twice the legal driving limit of .08%, was taken to the hospital before the meeting was over.
The police cited Frankenfield for public drunkenness. He was fined $119.50 as a penalty.
According to court records, Frankfield was cited for public drunkenness before. In December 2006 he was fined $219.50 for public drunkennes at a liquor store in Lower Nazareth Township.
