BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Taking to heart the credo that friends should never let friends drive drunk, a man shot out two tires on his pal's car to keep him from driving under the influence.

Alas, the move backfired when the incensed driver got out of his car, pulled a knife and attacked his friend, according to a report by Bloomington police.

Police arrested the driver, David Woodward, 39, of Indianapolis, on a preliminary charge of battery after the fight early Sunday. Woodward could not be reached for comment Monday.

Authorities said they expected to file charges within a few days against the other man, whose identity was not released, after officers found two handguns and an assault-style rifle in his home.

Woodward, who had been staying with friends in Bloomington, went out drinking with them Saturday night and then told them he wanted to drive home to Indianapolis, police said. One of the friends tried to take Woodward's car keys but grabbed the wrong ones.

7. Obviously soft on property damage crime

I think they both need to be up against the wall, for vandalism and failure to exact revenge.

4. Carry a gun into an arguement with a friend so as to shoot tires?

At a range I impress myself - but at a party?

I wonder if the car was moving, or if as the drunk friend was objecting with the knife, running at the gun, did the friend have second thoughts?

Quite a brave deed actually by the friend. Perhaps the only way to keep a guy (with habit of knife fighting) from driving drunk!
