A registered nurse has acknowledged drinking four or five beers in the hours before assisting in an emergency operation at a veterans hospital.

Richard Pieri is charged in Luzerne County with recklessly endangering another person, driving under the influence and public drunkenness.

Pieri stumbled into the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center on Feb. 4 before the surgery, during which his responsibilities included preparing the patient and monitoring vital signs, a police affidavit said.

He had difficulty logging into a computer and entered incorrect time stamps documenting when the operation began and ended, authorities said.

The police affidavit doesn’t say what procedure the patient underwent but said the patient was readmitted for stomach pains.
