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

That would be up to Saban. If it were me, punishment would be based on what he actually did and the circumstances involved in the incident instead of either the formal charge or the final disposition. In this case since he was in a running car that he could have been intending to drive, I would make the punishment would be worse than if he got a PI because he was staggering down the sidewalk but far less than if he'd gotten a DUI while actually operating the vehicle.

Totally agree, and what I was hoping to get out of posing the question. A reasonable parenting response not the "my kid does nothing wrong" response like the other response was.

At this point I do think the SEC needs to set a standard. Arrest no matter what you get suspended the next game. It'll hold players, and coaches accountable. Really small chance a kid is going to get arrested wrongly. If he is giving an officer lip about being a player or something all a cop has to say is "don't push me to arrest you" to get him to simmer down. Will be the "don't give me a real reason to make you cry" my dad would warn us with. Ha.
