Don't worry, they and the procedure are not pleasant...yet necessary.

What is even more amazing is that the citizens of that county accepted such an idiot as sheriff.

it wouldn't have gone on anywhere near that long in my neck of the woods. I think any non-LEO would have ended up in the ER after that much resistance...

BTW.... if you are in a parking lot (say out side of a bar or legion club) and are trying to "sleep it off" inside your vehicle and even IF your KEY"S are NOT in the ignition, you could still get busted for DUI in MN.
I don't know about other states, but I've read about it.
best thing to do if you are drunk is call someone for a ride.

you can in Hopewell VA,

I know a guy that did exactly that,
got a bit too much in him, went to his car, opened door, locked himself inside and with keys in pocket was asleep in the back seat,

police came knocking on the window and locked him up,

Wonder what Charge? I can't think of a violation unless maybe expired plates, or there was an ordinance against sleeping in a car or a warrant for him. Just curious. It couldn't be drunk driving unless he had moved the car before going in the back to sleep. Ray

Driving while intoxicated, since he was in the car, and drunk,
even parked,

small town and some overzealous enforcement

this was 20+ yrs ago, his lawyer may have gotten it reduced, been so long I cannot remember the outcome

A story told by my grandmother, years ago. Her husband and a buddy took a road trip in the late 1930's to NYC. Had maybe a bit too much to drink and so they pulled over to sleep it off. A cop woke them up, rapping on the glass. Get it moving, because in a little while there is going to be a lot of traffic this way.

They were sleeping it off, parked on the George Washington Bridge.

Times do change.

If the keys aren’t in the ignition there is no attempt to operate, if you decide to sleep it off in a parking lot versus driving good for you. Don’t drink and drive, UBER Lyft etc are very affordable.

Agree...Ray
