Jan. 22 — An Allegheny County woman was charged with being at least double the state’s legal limit for alcohol in connection with a suspicious vehicle call earlier this month on the 700 block of Ekastown Road.

Police got there about 9:15 p.m. Jan. 15 and found the defendant, Gail L. Taglieri, 56, of Brackenridge, slumped over the wheel of a pickup truck at Roenigk’s bus garage, according to court documents.

An officer had to knock on the window numerous times before she awakened. Police said she was unable to tell them why she was there.

“She was asked how much she had to drink,” according to a police affidavit, “and she stated that she had too much.”

Taglieri subsequently handed over a nearly empty bottle of vodka that she had in her purse. She was taken to Allegheny Valley Hospital in Natrona Heights, Allegheny County for a blood test.

Documents said toxicology results showed her blood-alcohol level was at least 0.16 percent. In Pennsylvania, a level of 0.08 percent is considered intoxicated.

In addition to driving under the influence, Taglieri is charged with driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.02 percent or greater while her license is suspended and driving with an open container of alcohol.
