Interventions do not work like on TV, and usually result in the victim punching out one or more of the concerned others.
Acknowledge that the dude fucked up. Give him the number to the campus counselling service or the local crisis hotline, and give him the ride if he asks for it.
Actually, regardless of what you feel, you don't have any responsibility to him ... he has to take it for himself.
What he needs first, though, may be a lawyer.
Did he get arrested-arrested, or just issued non-traffic citations for Public Drunkenness and Disorderly Conduct? (unless he punched or spit on the cops assault charges over something like that are rare. Also was it "real" cops or "campus" cops?)
He wouldn't be the first lawyer to have done something drunk and stupid in college, incidentally.
