The neighbor was able to move out of the way and run toward his driveway, but Herman said Barnes swerved toward the man "as if he was intentionally trying to strike him."
He started doing doughnuts in his vehicle in the cul-de-sac, then almost hit the neighbor again, the constable said.
Barnes parked in his driveway and yelled to the neighbor, "Now this is how you party!" according to Herman.
Barnes, 68, is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. His bond was set at $30,000.
