HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wait, you were serious? I'd be shocked if he wasn't already released.Weaksauce charges. Where's assault with a deadly weapon? Attempted murder?
How long will this one be in a jail cell? A weekend?
Was he shooting directly at someone? Was anyone hit or another vehicle struck by bullets? Can't charge assault or attempted murder if the shots were fired into the air.Weaksauce charges. Where's assault with a deadly weapon? Attempted murder?

And with #3 in mind, I'd put $$ on "NOTHING"1. Indiana does not have Assault of any flavor. We do have Battery.
2. Attempted Murder, a specific intent crime, is among the hardest to prove.
3. If does not matter what he was arrested for, it matters what he is prosecuted for.
I moved from Indy to the Terre Haute area last year and there are some things about Indy that I just don't miss, 465 being one of them. 465 was always a bit of a race track in terms of everyone being in a hurry, but since the Covid shut down, it became a zoo. Even with the construction on the south side to accommodate the I-69 interchange, people are still driving 80+ through there and rarely do I see any sort of law enforcement in there. Of course, I don't drive through there as often now as I used to, but I went back to meet up with friends yesterday and it was a bit challenging driving on 465.I'm still shocked to hear that there were 22 instances of shots being fired and 74 instances of guns being displayed or pointed just this year. Holy crap!
