But did police actually SEE him driving? If he was napping in the vehicle, he wasn't driving..
How could he be cited for driving with a suspended driver's license when nobody saw him drive? Only in Antigo.

It is the law that if you are in the drivers seat with keys in the car (not the ignition, just in the car) you are assumed to be driving. They have used this a lot in the past to arrest people for drunk driving even if they are trying to be good and just sleep it off. Put the keys on a tire or something to save yourself.
