ROYAL OAK, Mich. -- Officers used a stun gun to take a Michigan man into custody after he attempted to fight them off with medieval weaponry, according to police.
Police said Robert McClain sped away from the scene of a car crash in Royal Oak Wednesday night. When officers went to his home, McClain was apparently in the basement and prepared to keep officers at bay with a 4-foot sword and a large mallet.
"One of the statements that he made is that, 'I got 1,000 years of power. Come and get me,'" said Deputy Chief Chris Jahnke, of the Royal Oak Police Department. "And they looked down and he has this metal chain (and a) mesh guard (or) vest on, along with these leather gauntlets on his arms."
After dodging swords, chains and the mallet -- which were being thrown up from the basement -- officers used a stun gun to subdue McClain and arrest him, reported Detroit TV station WDIV.
McClain was charged Thursday with assault.
If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison.

"Reno 911" had an ep in which a psycho "Dungeons & Dragons" geek in makeshift armor, bragging of his +1 magical this and that, ended up getting maced.
Stranger than fiction ...

Right, I saw that episode! Too funny! I'm betting that the encounter in this article went a lot like that episode. It's all fun and games until you get taken down by the +10 Taser and wind up in ye olde slammer.

No joke. Vegas wouldn't take odds on that happening. Bobby Knight hasn't been in an embarrassing scandal in a while, so he's due!

'I got 1,000 years of power. Come and get me,'"LOL! According to that line of reasoning, someone with a sharpend stone maybe 20,000 years of power, someone with a sharp, pointy stick, maybe 50,000 years of power, and someone fighting with their bare hands has untold millions of years of power.
Whereas someone with a nuclear weapon has only ~60 years of power. Pathetic.
