De'Shawn Hand's car was not moving. He was parked and asleep.

Is it still DUI if the keys are in the ignition and the car is running but you were sleeping in the backseat?

yes

This does not mean the arrest was unwarranted. Aaron Suttles reports: “According to Alabama state law, Hand was deemed to be in ‘constructive possession’ of the vehicle, and although he wasn’t driving and the vehicle was parked, the keys being in the car was the determinant that triggered the arrest.”

Doesn't even have to be running.

Keys were "in the car"
doesn't say if they were in the ignition.
The car was parked in a parking lot.

Sleeping in drivers seat with car on = dui
He may be ok if he was in backseat. I know I'd be pissed if I was sleeping in backseat and had car running for ac and got a dui

Which it appears it wasnt. This is BS. Hand is being persecuted.

That's more forgivable. Still dumb on his part but he wasn't endangering anyone. He'll probably start

No shite. I've literally done this a few times myself to ensure I was NOT going to DUI.
ETA: A down vote for what?

He was going to play in the first game... this changes nothing.

well if this was the case, the PD will be apologizing and he should be anointed a team captain

So go hide your keys somewhere. Then go to sleep

Uhhh, have you been hammered before? Hiding your keys is the last thing I'd want to do.

Car does not have to be running in most jurisdictions. Seated in driver's seat = "actual physical control" of motor vehicle.

Maybe.
I just know that as a parent, when my kids make it to college and drink, I'll tell them that if they are too drunk to drive to do EXACTLY what De'Shawn Hand did.
Citation be damned, if he (or my kids) knowingly kept themselves off of the street and did not endanger themselves or anyone else - then GOOD ON THEM! They're living the right way and doing the right things, DUI arrest or not.

according to Tide Sports, car was running and headlights on

Hand is a good student and good guy. Just made a bad choice, it happens.

Hand was parked in a near-campus parking lot, sitting in the driver’s seat with the headlights on and the vehicle cranked, but was asleep with the car in park.

Hopefully he was listening to R Kelly when he fell asleep:

Maybe. I sure found this statement funny with the news that he was just sitting in his car though.

...and they call it driving under the influence.Posted on 7/31/17 at 2:29 pm to DoubleDown
Instead of telling them to do "EXACTLY" what he did, maybe tell them to get in the back seat, or, better still, don't drink and drive.
