OPINION

CATTANI, Judge.

¶ 1 David Harold Coles appeals the superior court's ruling rejecting his argument that Scottsdale's public intoxication ordinance is preempted by a state statute that prohibits local ordinances penalizing or imposing sanctions for intoxication. For reasons that follow, we conclude that the state statute preempts the local ordinance, and we reverse the superior court's ruling.
