[June 09, 2009]  SALEM, N.H. (AP) -- Police said a man drove his car at a friend in Salem, N.H., after the two argued over a $10 bar tab.

The man, 23, was charged with two counts of first-degree assault, reckless conduct and criminal mischief. Police said the man and a co-worker were out drinking on Friday, and the two went to the co-worker's house early Saturday. Police said the two began arguing over a $10 bar tab. The suspect drove his car, hitting the co-worker, causing him to flip onto the hood. Police said the suspect left but returned and crashed into a garage door and light post and drove over lawn statues. Then they said the co-worker's father came out and the suspect drove at him, striking him. The father suffered minor injuries. [Associated Press] Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.
