Naked Swordsman Pleads Guilty to Assault
Austin American-Statesman ^ | August 3, 2005

IOWA CITY, Iowa — A man who chased his neighbors with a 2-foot sword while naked last winter pleaded guilty to a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.

Curtis Rarick, 45, of North Liberty, could face up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine at sentencing on Sept. 16. As part of a plea bargain, a charge of public intoxication was dismissed.

Police say they responded to a reported altercation on Feb. 27.

Rarick's neighbors told police he was standing naked in his front yard.

He got upset when they told him to put clothes on, dashed back in his house and came out with a sword. He then chased and threatened them, they told police.

Police said Rarick had a blood alcohol content of 0.12 percent.

Curtis brandished the Family Sword
as he ran around nude in his yard;
Without even a kilt,
with both hands on the hilt,
He screamed, "HOIST ME ON MY OWN PETARD!"

Was the weapon the sword or his sword?

Hmmmm.

Hi.
Tis is very nice to read all the hilarious comments about Curt. He is a good friend of mine from North Liberty, Iowa. He just tends to drink way too much every single day of his life.
