Right basically at the weekend mine and my housemates mate got really drunk and came back to ours and started getting very agressive and took a swing at my mate

subsequently my housemate in self defence smacked him around a bit my mate then decided he wanted to stab my mate and again my housemate knocked him out (about 5 times this happened)

he then got thrown out of our place and jumped in his car got stopped and was caught drink driving (reading of 82)

from rumours i hear our mate had also took a couple of pills.

when he got arrested he played the i just been beat up card and know my housemate has been bailed orignally for GBH but put down to affray.

our "mate" has said hes going to withdraw his statem,ent but the police have said that they are still going to try and charge him.

can they do this?

if so its not looking good for him as i think it maybe a jail term!
