To be convicted of DWI under the per se theory, the state must prove that a person drove a vehicle on a street, highway, or public vehicular area with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more at any relevant time after driving. The state must prove he was actually operating the vehicle, which may be difficult for the state given the facts of this case.
