The mere fact that a sleeping man was drunk in his parked car along a rural highway does not necessarily mean that he drove the car drunk to get there, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled. The high court ruled that a police officer did not have "reasonable grounds" to conclude that Robert N. Banner had driven his car drunk, because Banner was found to be sleeping in the parked car with both the engine and lights off.
