Authorities say John Peragallo was drunk when he drove the four-ton ice-cleaning machine at Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown on Sunday. Police said an employee reported that the machine was speeding and nearly crashing into boards. Police say Peragallo had a blood-alcohol level of 0.12. Persons are legally drunk in New Jersey at 0.08. The 63-year-old was given a summons and a July court date, where he'll risk losing his driver's license for motor vehicles and Zambonis if he's convicted. Peragallo has worked for the county park commission since 1994.
