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.
Was it a Tanto or a Wakizashi....? ;-)~
I miss you Thag.
Where you been Dash?
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!"
Sorry - work work work work and unpack unpack unpack unpack.
So it's work unpack work unpack, blah blah..
I did get your mail - will reply later. I have two laptops going right now and only one lap.

Sounds like you are busy beyond busy. Get back when you can. GOOD LUCK, and do not work too hard!!
Was the weapon the sword or his sword?
Hmmmm.
I've been gone. Anyone hear anything about thag, or from the ghost of thag?
Police- "Drop the sword. And put down the dagger."
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.
