I was in that same type of predicament back in 1981 when I was stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC. MP's used to ride with the local police patroling Fayetteville due to the high military presence. A very similar incident happened and my weapon was drawn and aimed at the suspect. Thank god things went differently as I didn't have to pull the trigger. Could I have or would I have; absolutely if I thought my life or someone elses life was in imminent danger. These guys were armed and carrying narcotics. They were booked on drunken driving charges as well as the weapons and drug charges. So I do know what you mean about things getting tense.

How can they book them both on drunken driving charges?
