man threatens girlfriend, challenges her to naked sword duel

Asians behaving badly... naked sword duel edition! In truth, there was no actual naked sword duel. But let record reflect that a challenge was indeed issued: Police: Attorney challenged woman to naked sword duel.

This week in Florida, a man was arrested after he threatened to kill his girlfriend as he challenged her to a naked sword duel. 36-year-old defense attorney Terry Lee Locy faces counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence battery. And the crazy part is, it really did all happen in the buff:
According to an arrest affidavit, Locy and his live-in girlfriend were arguing early Wednesday morning about his "drinking in excess." Locy then grabbed a mirror off a door and "raised it up as if he was attempting to strike" her, Agent Pamela Hibbs of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office wrote in the affidavit.

That's when the girlfriend grabbed the hook that the mirror had been hanging on and flung it toward Locy, who suffered a cut to his head.

After showering, a nude Locy handed a sheathed sword to his girlfriend and said, "You're going to need this," the court document states.

Locy then retrieved a larger sword, pulled it from the sheath and told her, "I'm going to kill you," the affidavit says.
I'm sorry. I know that domestic violence is no laughing matter. But when I see the phrase "naked sword duel," I laugh. It's a reflex. Fortunately, Locy was arrested before any such dueling happened, clothed or otherwise. More here: Attorney Challenged Girlfriend to Naked Sword Fight.
