Re: drunk driving with heavy property damage on private property continue
I believe I have answered this question previously. If the area was deemed to be a private place rather than a public place, then the driver cannot be charged with DWI. DWI requires the operation of a motor vehicle, in a public place, while intoxicated.
There are likely other offenses the driver could be charged with. Public Intoxication comes to mind. Possibly Criminal Mischief, etc.
