A transient is behind bars after police say he attempted to rob a couple with a sword on Sunday evening on the west end of Bozeman.
Diamond Jade Brock Lorenz, 21, is being held in the Gallatin County jail on a felony charge of attempted robbery. He will appear in Gallatin County Justice Court on Tuesday morning to have his bail set.
According to charging documents:
Shortly after 4 p.m. Sunday, Bozeman police were dispatched to a field near the intersection of Fallon and Ravalli streets for a report of a robbery in progress.
A man told police he had been walking with his girlfriend in the field south of Fallon Street and west of Ferguson Avenue when they were approached by a man carrying a sword.
The man, later identified as Brock Lorenz, asked the man if he had heard of pirating. The man said Brock Lorenz then tried to grab the mans knife, which was in a sheath the man was carrying.

Soon enough Bloomberg will finance #SwordSense . So we can get Swords, knives, scissors and any other sharp object off the street .
What the hey.. Why not ban all metal . #MetalControl.. and #MetalSense..
That ought to do it!!! /sarc.
I think he's going to find out that the courts won't see it that way.
Ban all metal- not problem. I’ll just use my obsidiam knife.
Brock Lorenz sounds like a private eye.
The guy has probably done too many drugs.
Since he's a pirate, hang him.
Did you mean to say, “walk the plank”? Arrrrr
Well then we’ll just have to ban stone and ceramics.
Isn’t it curious that virtually all criminals profess to be innocent?
What about a pointy stick
Then we ban sticks or points.....
