NextImg:Florida man allegedly pistol whips, shoots friend in both legs while drunk

A Florida man was arrested for allegedly pistol-whipping and shooting his friend in both legs, police say.

Thomas Arney, 38, was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. 

The incident took place at around 4:00 a.m. Friday on Desoto Avenue in De Leon Springs.

The suspect was still on the scene when police officers arrived.

Arney told them the incident started with a drunken argument.

“[Arney] told deputies he and his friend had been drinking outside all night, then got into an argument that escalated,” Volusia Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.

The suspect told investigators that his friend had broken the windows of nearby cars before approaching Arney “aggressively.”

A witness said that Arney shot the victim once in each leg before eventually hitting him in the head with the weapon.
