    This puzzles me:

    "No arrests were made because there was no criminal intent"

    Seems like it could have fallen under the criminal recklessness statutes.

    A person who recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally performs:
    (1) an act that creates a substantial risk of bodily injury to another person commits criminal recklessness. Except as provided in subsection (c), criminal recklessness is a Class B misdemeanor.
    (c) The offense of criminal recklessness as defined in subsection (b) is:
    (1) a Class A misdemeanor if the conduct includes the use of a vehicle;
    (2) a Class D felony if:
    (A) it is committed while armed with a deadly weapon

    Reckless is "A person engages in conduct "recklessly" if he engages in the conduct in plain, conscious, and unjustifiable disregard of harm that might result and the disregard involves a substantial deviation from acceptable standards of conduct."

    Seems to fit, to me anyway. What do you all think? Sorry about the screwy fonts.

    I added my own emphasis.

    Yes, it could have. But it wasn't. Totality of circumstances.
