They were arrested and charged; Hobbs with discharge of a firearm and possession of an open container of alcohol; Smith was charged with excessive driving under the influence, carrying a concealed weapon while under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of an open container of alcohol, and driving without privileges, according to ISP.
