There's an example here of the confusing commands that can come about in stressful situations - "turn around and put your hands behind your back" while they guy was flat on his back, for instance - the drunk might have been thinking he needed to stand up, turn around, and put his hands behind his back.

Sort of like "Hands up! Get out of the car!"
