LEESBURG – Authorities aren't sure why a drunk man accosted another man outside his home Friday, but it almost cost the inebriated man his life.

According to an arrest report, a man was backing a trailer into his driveway on Sealine Drive at about 11:15 p.m. Friday when he noticed an SUV blocking the road. The man said the SUV driver, later identified as Nicholas W. Pinto, 42, approached him yelling and screaming and had his hand behind his back, so he fired a round from his handgun into the ground, and Pinto walked off.

The victim said Pinto continued walking around the street with his privates out, urinated in the road and then got in the SUV and drove away.

Deputies caught Pinto short distance away, but when they ordered him out of the vehicle, he tried to drive off. Deputies were able to grab the keys from the ignition to stop his escape.

Pinto, of Leesburg, was charged with disorderly intoxication and exposure of sexual organs.
