Customers at the store called police to report a sleeping man behind the wheel of the running car around 2.30am, Butte-Silver Bow County Undersheriff George Skuletich said.
An officer woke up the man, identified him as O'Neill and noticed odd behaviour.
He denied drinking and gave different stories about where he had been, Undersheriff Skuletich said.
O'Neill then failed a field sobriety test and refused another test to find out his blood alcohol level, police said.
It was at that point that he was charged with driving under the influence, a misdemeanour, Undersheriff Skuletich said.
O'Neill was released after posting a $685 bond, jail records show. It is the first time he has been arrested.
It is not clear whether he has hired an attorney.
O'Neill said in a statement released through a public relations firm that he took a prescribed sleep aid to help him with severe insomnia.
He added he is innocent of the charge and will plead not guilty. O'Neill also thanked officers for their professionalism and courtesy.
O'Neill first began publicly discussing his role in the 2011 raid that killed bin Laden two years ago.
He told the Associated Press the American public had a right to know more details about the operation that killed the al Qaeda leader.
Pentagon officials have previously said it is not clear whose shots killed bin Laden.
