Question

Can a person in the State of Kentucky be convicted of a DUI for sleeping if they keys were not even in the vehicle? They have a statement from a witness that claims he was driving previous. They have a reciept from a store 3 hours prior that he purchased beer.



Answer

If the keys were not in the car, let alone the ignition, then the prosecutor will have a very difficult time proving operation which is a required element for guilt under Kentucky's DUI statute.
