A Post Falls man was arrested Thursday after a text message argument with a coworker took an allegedly violent turn. James Hoffman, 48, told Kootenai County Sheriff's deputies he was having a work-related dispute with another man via text message around 9 p.m. According to the responding deputy's incident report, when the argument began including attacks on the man's wife and daughter, he felt the need to act. Hoffman, who allegedly admitted to the deputy he had consumed five 15-ounce beers before the incident, then drove to the coworker's house and brought a collapsible baton with him. The occupants of the house told a deputy they saw Hoffman's truck approaching their home at a high rate of speed and walked onto a second floor deck/Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: Any other reasons to avoid settling disputes by text?
