Man convicted of DUI for sleeping at the wheel of his non-functional car.

Original Story

The Supreme Court of Minnesota on January 1, 2010 upheld the drunk driving conviction of a man caught asleep behind the wheel of a vehicle that would not start. On June 11, 2007, police found Daryl Fleck sleeping in his own legally parked car in his apartment complex parking lot. The vehicle’s engine was cold to the touch, indicating it had not been driven recently and the keys were in the center console, not the ignition. The police arrested him, and his blood alcohol level was found to be .18. A few weeks after Fleck’s vehicle was impounded, a police officer tested the vehicle using the keys found in the car’s center console. It was determined the vehicle could not even start.

Thus, Daryl Fleck was convicted by the highest court in Minnesota of a crime he had not committed – drunk driving – and in fact, a crime he could not commit! Now that’s some dumb ass government.
