QUESTION
How can they charge me with OWI when it was impossible for me to even start the ATV?
Asked on Mar 02nd, 2016 on DUI/DWI - Michigan
More details to this question:
I went to a party, got very drunk, cops pulled in the driveway. I was sitting on my ATV, not running, and the key was taken from a friend. They all told the police that when I showed up a couple hours prior, I had an unopened bottle of whisky, and was not drunk when I showed up. I was arrested for OWI and released 72 hours later with no charges or anything. Three weeks later, I receive a letter for arraignment on OWI and habitual.

If what you've said is accurate, it appears you may have a viable defense since it doesn't sound like you were "operating" the vehicle in question. Hire a good aggressive local OWI atty and be prepared to fight the charges.
