Victim(s)
Male, age 14, MadisonDetails
When his ball rolled under the bush of a neighbor's home, the 14-year old went over to fetch it. A teen who lives at the Bettys Lane residence – where the ball had been sent - did not want the other boy in his yard. He drew a 41" sword from its scabbard and pointed it at the other boy, just as the victim pulled the ball out from beneath the bush. The frightened victim said the tip of the sword was at his neck, and he backed away, across the lawn. He said the suspect was threatening him and he feared he would be killed. He was able to get away and contact a trusted adult. The suspect claimed it was he who had been threatened and he told police he grabbed the sword to defend himself.Released 08/06/2012 at 10:51 AM by PIO Joel DeSpain
