| MAN USES SWORD AS A WEAPON, ESCAPES |
|
WENGNews writes, "CHARLOTTE COUNTY DEPUTIES RESPONDED TO A CHALROTTE HARBOR BUSINESS THAT WAS ALLEGEDLY ROBBED BY A MAN USING A 34 INCH SWORD AS A WEAPON. DEPUTIES ARRIVED AT ALLIED RECYCLING IN THE WHIDDEN INDUSTRIAL PARK, WHERE THE MANAGER TOLD THEM HE GAVE A PUNTA GORDA MAN CASH FOR ALUMINUM HE BROUGHT IN. AS THE MAN STARTED PUTTING THE MONEY IN HIS WALLET, ANOTHER MAN CAME UP AND DEMANDED THE CASH. THE PUNTA GORDA MAN REFUSED AND PUSHED THE ASSAILANT AWAY. HE THEN RAN OUT TO HIS FORD RANGER AND GRABBED THE SWORD, CAME BACK IN, AND PUT IT IN THE CHEST OF THE PUNTA GORDA MAN, AGAIN DEMANDING THE MONEY. ONCE AGAIN HE REFUSED, SO THE ASSAILANT BEGAN TO SWING THE SWORD, AND THAT’S WHEN THE PUNTA GORDA MAN TACKLED HIM, FEARING FOR HIS LIFE. ANOTHER CUSTOMER GRABBED THE SWORD FROM THE ASSAILANT AND HID IT, AND AFTER THE SCUFFLE, HE RAN TO HIS TRUCK AND DROVE OFF. NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THE SCUFFLE, AND THE ASSAILANT IS DESCRIBED AS A WHITE MALE, ABOUT 5’9” TALL, BETWEEN 140 AND 145 POUNDS WITH A THIN BUILD. HE HAS BLONDE HAIR WITH LONG BANGS AND A VERY PALE COMPLEXION, AND WAS WEARING BLACK BOOTS, BLACK PANTS, AND A BLACK LEATHER JACKET WITH TASSELS. ANYONE WITH INFORMATION IS ENCOURAGED TO CALL THE CHARLOTTE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE AT 639-0013."
