ATHENS, Tenn. (AP) - Athens police say two men walking to get gas for their empty car started fighting over who should pay for it and ended up in jail, one with minor stab wounds.

 

Police said both David A. Lundsford of Sweetwater and Roger Gifford of Athens remain in custody pending a court appearance Friday.

 

A police report shows Lundsford suffered a minor stab wound in the abdomen, apparently inflicted with a pocket knife early Wednesday. A witness told police that she saw Lundsford punching Gifford.

 

Lundsford told officers that he and Gifford were walking north on Congress Parkway after running out of gas and they started arguing about who should pay when they got to the pump.

 

Both men are charged with public intoxication.

The last sentence explains much...... :)

I wonder why they weren't charged with DUI, though, since obviously they werre doing that before they ran out of gas.....

probably they were drinking while filling up

No way to prove it. They could say they were so mad about breaking down that they stopped at a bar first.
