Wouldn't the dangerous weapon he was charged with assaulting someone be his truck, not the machete? Or at least it should be. Not that it matters in the end because they don't terminate the licenses of drivers who purposely hit others in this country.

drunk drivers. It looks like you can have many, many drunk driving arrests, and not much happens to you, except you get to continue to drive drunk whenever you want.

The way the article reads, both the car and the machete were used in ways that would have put the non-machete wielding driver in reasonable fear of bodily harm, so it's possible that Mr. Machete will be facing two counts, one for each item. As a regular reader of Watertown News it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't make a distinction there, but you never know, I suppose.

"Assault with a dangerous weapon" doesn't preclude there being 2 weapons - the machete and the truck.
