Loud verbal commands?? What is loud? Subjective, I bet. Police says car in gear-his word-I'm betting it was an automatic and anyone knows they roll when you're not firmly pressing the brake pedal. Of course, some have a weird knack of maintaining pressure on the brake pedal while sleeping. I'm not sure we can believe the police report that the car was running. It's all too convenient---that and the officer is from Birmingham.

According to police, Rogers was dispatched to the area to check out reports of a reckless driver in a Chrysler. Rogers said that when he found the car matching the description, it was stopped although the traffic light was green. Rogers said he watched the light cycle through several times but the car remained stopped. When Rogers approached the car, he said he saw Rogers alone in the car and apparently asleep while at the wheel. "The front windows of the defendant's (Dunlap's) vehicle were cracked slightly and officers on the scene were unable to wake the defendant," Rogers wrote in the arrest report. "Loud repetitive commands were given to the defendant who would only open his eyes momentarily and nod back off." Rogers said he reached in through the slightly opened window to unlock the car and noticed that it was still in gear. After shifting the car into park and turning off the ignition, Rogers and other said they noticed that Dunlap's breath smelled of alcohol, his eyes were watery and bloodshot, that he had trouble maintaining his balance and did poorly on field sobriety tests. Dunlap reportedly refused to submit to a breath test and told Rogers and other officers that he had been at "a gathering" and was headed home. Dunlap was booked into the Alachua County jail on the DUI charge. Dunlap's value to the UF team was noted when he was named Defensive MVP of the 2009 FedEx BCS National Championship Game. His arrest comes just days before the top ranked Gators face No. 2 Alabama for the SEC championship. All rights reserved. This copyrighted material may not be re-published without permission.
