The judge may see it that way and be lenient. The officer has no choice but to assume that the guy could have woke up and drove away in five more minutes. Drunks, even those "sleeping it off", are not renowned for good decision making. As a pilot you should know that it can take up to 12 hours to sober up enough to drive. I doubt anybody sleeps it off that long. The right thing to do is to get a safe ride home and come back for the vehicle later. There is nor other reasonable alternative.
