REPORT - Anchorage man attacked roommate with ‘Legend of Zelda’ sword – then a real knife, charges say
The following report comes from the Anchorage Daily News...
A 22-year-old man struck his roommate with a replica sword from the video game series "The Legend of Zelda" and then a kitchen knife during a fight in an Anchorage apartment, prosecutors said.
Anchorage police were alerted to a fight among "multiple roommates," including suspect Jeremy Tazruk, around 12:30 a.m. Friday.
When officers got to the apartment at 3531 E. 42nd Ave., near the University of Alaska Anchorage campus, they found a broken television, a bloody napkin, a knife on a table and a bent sword on the floor, according to a court document written by Assistant District Attorney Jessica Bjerke-Owens in support of the charges.
One of the craziest things about this report is that Mr. Tazruk had no prior criminal convictions in Alaska. What happens that just one day you decide to beat up your roommate with a fake sword, and then stab them? You can get more details on the altercation here.
