Legal Question in DUI Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Arrested for being drunk in public?

Yes. Public Drunkenness is a misdemeanor (18 Pa.C.S. Sec. 5505:

"A person is guilty of a summary offense if he appears in any public place manifestly under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance, as defined in the act of April 14, 1972 (P.L. 233, No. 64), known as The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act, except those taken pursuant to the lawful order of a practitioner, as defined in The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act, to the degree that he may endanger himself or other persons or property, or annoy persons in his vicinity."

You may wish to speak to a lawyer if you have been given a citation for this.
