Two Sleeping Beauties awoken, but not with a kiss
Boston Police report a Harbor Point Boulevard teen was startled when she went to get breakfast around 6:15 this morning and found some dude asleep on her family's living-room couch:
Officers entered the location and observed the male still sound asleep on the couch. Officers woke the suspect and asked him to explain why he was sleeping on a couch in an apartment that didn't belong to him. The suspect stated that he thought he was sleeping in his friend's apartment. However, the owner of the apartment stated that he had no idea who the suspect was and they were definitely not friends.
After noticing the fragrance of something that might have been the remains of a poisoned apple (or a fermented one), police say, officers arrested Dominic D'Allesandro, 18, of Weymouth, on a charge of breaking and entering in the nighttime.
Earlier, around 1:15 a.m., police were called to 325 E. Eagle St. in East Boston, where they found a car running with a guy asleep at the wheel. Repeated efforts to rouse him failed, so officers called in EMTs, who did manage to wake the guy - who promptly began punching and slapping the EMTs, police say.
Antonio Valdivieso, 28, of East Boston was charged with OUI and assault and battery on a police officer and an EMT.
Ed. Curious Question: So somebody can be charged with OUI even if they're parked?
Innocent, etc.

In answer to your question,
In answer to your question, yes because the keys were in and the car was running.
I'm pretty sure that key in
I'm pretty sure that key in the ignition = driving, at least to the law.

Q: So somebody can be charged with OUI even if they're parked?
A: Absolutely.
I don't think so
When I was in High School they took us to jail and to the courthouse to try to scare us into being good little boys and girls. The case we saw at the Courthouse involved just such a case: a guy passed out drunk behind the wheel. They arrested him for DUI, but he got off. No one actually saw him drive the car.
OUI parked

IANAL, but I'm almost positive the answer is "yes" if the keys are in the ignition or the engine is running. If you're sleeping it off, do so with the keys in your pocket. Fine in the summer, not in the winter.
Besides- I believe alcohol is metabolized, so you're much better off walking it off with a friend...?
in ny, it's keys can't be in
in ny, it's keys can't be in the car. hide 'em in the wheel well.
Creepy....in both cases!!
