Minnesota: The Minnesota Supreme Court has upheld Daryl Fleck's 2007 DWI conviction that he received while sleeping drunk in a parked car. Justice Alan Page released a statement declaring that Fleck could still be convicted because the circumstances indicated that he had been operating the vehicle. Fleck received a 4 year prison sentence in 2007.[1]
