State Supreme Court Upholds Man's DUI Conviction Though He Did Not Drive The Hartford Courant 1:42 PM EDT, March 23, 2009 The Connecticut Supreme Court says people can be convicted of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, without actually having driven their cars. The court's ruling on Monday came in the case of Michael Cyr, an Andover man who was arrested in a Manchester parking lot in February 2005. He started his car remotely and sat in the driver's seat drunk, but didn't drive anywhere. The high court ruled 5-0 that Cyr's actions represented the first steps in the operation of a motor vehicle. The decision orders the state Apellate Court, which had thrown out Cyr's conviction, to reinstate the conviction. Cyr pleaded no contest to the drunken driving charge after his bids to dismiss the case failed. He had two previous drunken driving convictions before 2005. courant.com
