Prosecutors in Portland determined that a man who fatally stabbed his former landlord with a sword in September did so in self-defense and will not face charges.
Portland police were called to a home in the Eliot neighborhood of the city at about 1:30 a.m. on Sept. 15 and found a man dead at the scene.
Details were hazy at the time of what led to a man being stabbed with a sword, but a memo from the Multnomah County District Attorney’s office reveals a strange dispute between a former tenant and a landlord that ultimately led to no one getting charged.
Justin Valdivia, 46, was fatally stabbed with a "saberlike" sword after sneaking into a home he owns that was leased out to tenants, according to Willamette Week, which obtained the DA’s memo on the matter. He was dressed as Michael Myers of "Halloween" movie franchise fame at the time of the incident.
Valdivia had threatened the tenants with a knife twice before his death, according to police reports reported by Willamette Week. He had also reportedly tried to break into the home at 4 a.m. one morning while drunk, forcing one of the residents to hold him off.

That would be like confusing turban Durbin with the landlord from ‘Three’s Company’
Why would we spend all that money going to Mars when we could just go to Portland?
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Were both in their underwear?
The landlord was one kooky guy. He got what was coming to him. You don’t get drunk and bust into people’s living space at 1AM or 4AM all dressed up like some maniac in a horror movie. Doesn’t matter if you own the property or not.
The tenant saw the drunk-dressed up landlord was holding a gun and....a HAMMER too!!
“Oh, Bleep! Gimme that display sword! This stuff just got real!”
and now that you've seen it, you'll never unsee it.
In the first movie, it was an actual Shatner mask that had been altered and painted.
The tenants didn’t move the first time the landlord threatened them?
At least he wasn’t The Spy Who Shagged Me, which is what I thought they meant.
It’s Portland. All they do is decline cases. I doubt they know how to file charges.
“The man stabbed Valdivia, who then fell to the floor. Another resident in the home tried to stop the bleeding with paper towels”...
Should’ve used Bounty, the quicker picker upper.
Fox can’t even write a decent headline.
Why was the landlord dressed as Mike Myers?
