STATE v. HAIGHT

No. 17435.

903 A.2d 217 (2006)

279 Conn. 546

STATE of Connecticut v. Andrew C. HAIGHT.

Supreme Court of Connecticut.

Decided August 22, 2006.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Sarah Hanna, special deputy assistant state's attorney, with whom, on the brief, were David I. Cohen, state's attorney, and Tiffany M. Lockshier, deputy assistant state's attorney, for the appellant (state).

Brenden Leydon, with whom was Mark D. Phillips, Stamford, for the appellee (defendant).

BORDEN, NORCOTT, PALMER, VERTEFEUILLE and ZARELLA, Js.

ZARELLA, J.

The sole issue in this appeal is whether the defendant, Andrew C. Haight, "operated" a motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicating liquor in violation of General Statutes § 14-227a(a) when he was asleep in the driver's seat of his vehicle with the key inserted into the ignition. Because we conclude that this action was sufficient to constitute the operation of a motor vehicle, we reverse the judgment of the Appellate Court.
