Friend gets tagged for DWI....yes we all know its wrong and he is an idiot etc....its 3rd offense I believe and a felony...yes I still know he is a complete piece of [censored] and sucks at life...but the first 2 happened 20 years ago etc....
...situation is that he was not driving when it happened he was on side of road with flat when cops pulled up and arrested him, they never seen him physically drive the vehicle....if found guilty loses driving privledges for year which means he cant drive his kids or see him really for that matter (divorced) and pays ton of cash he doesnt have in fines etc....
All you have to do is testify that you drove car but left him there for whatever reasonable reason you could think of....
..What do you do? testify and get him off? or say sorry buddy you gotta pay the price?

NYS law
If you have are near the car, and the car is off but have the keys its s DWI. Im not even kidding.
Take example you were so drunk you pulled into an empty parking lot drawled in the back seat and feel asleep with your keys on you. You'd get the DWI.
Its reasonable for the cops to assume that he a)drove drunk before the flat b) will drive drunk after the repair.
that being said, hell yes you help him
