Girl blamed breath test on drunk kiss

MANHASSET, N.Y., May 30 (UPI) -- Police in Manhasset, N.Y., said a 17-year-old arrested for drunken driving blamed her breath test result on kissing someone who had been drinking.

Police said the test found Gianna Vigliotti to have a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 percent, nearly twice the 0.08 percent legal limit for driving, New York Newsday reported Friday.

The police report quoted the teenager as saying: "I didn't drink! I was kissing a boy who was drunk."

However, officers said they found four full beer bottles under the passenger seat of her car and an empty beer can in her purse.

Vigliotti is due in court June 18.
