Sorry, I need to know more before I can intelligently answer this question. How did the officer know where he was located? How did the officer gain entry into his room? Etc. etc etc.
I think you need to consult with an attorney in person. If you live in the Mankato area, I'd be happy to help you. Please call my office to set up a free one half hour consultation.

There appears to be much more to the fact than what you post. Nonetheless, issues of that nature are sorted out in pretrialmotions or ultimately a trial. Do not expect the prosecutor to simply dismiss the charges.

I am not a Wisconsin lawyer. However, the last time I checked, in Wisconsin a person had only TEN DAYS to challenge the administrative revocation of their drivers license, or it would forever be too late. Based upon that alone, your son would be well advised to consult a good DWI defense lawyer licensed in Wisconsin, as soon as possible and immediately!
DUI While Sleeping in a Hotel
If there is no proof that your son drove with a prohibited amount of alcohol in his blood, he will be acquitted and will not be punished. For some reason, however, I suspect that you are not telling the entire story here, or else he would not have been charged. If you would like to supply the details which you have omitted, I would be happy to share my opinions. In a situation such as this, the proof that the person drove often comes form the person themselves in the form of an admission to driving to the hotel. An admission made by a mentally disabled person may not be voluntary and can sometimes be challenged in court. Good luckd and please get back to me with "the rest of the story."
