HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C — A man toting a 3-foot sword apparently met his match when he broke into his ex-girlfriend's apartment: The woman's roommate grabbed a sword of his own and sliced the intruder, police said.

The roommate, a sword collector, fended off the ex-boyfriend, who was cut on the arm, police said.

Elvis Javier Polanco, 18, was treated at a hospital and charged with burglary and aggravated assault, Beaufort County sheriff's Capt. Toby McSwain said. He said Polanco broke a window and climbed on his friend's shoulders to get into the apartment.

The roommate, Louis Delgado Hernandez, disarmed the intruder while the woman called police, McSwain said.

I don't know why, but it brightens my day, unlike those cliched gunfights.

The next time somebody breaks into my house, I'm not going to yell "stop or I'll shoot!", I'm going to yell "roll for initiative!".

Next time I break into your house, I'm gonna yell, "I get surprise round!" and pelt you with my 800-page Ptolus hardbook.

He must not have spent the extra gp for a locking gauntlet. Amateur.

That's freakin awesome.

That sword collector is going to be telling this story for the rest of his life...

"So there I was, when this guy came in toting a sword to threaten his ex-girlfriend. I drew steel and engaged the Bonetti Defense; he was helpless before it, and I had him disarmed within moments. I held him at swordpoint until the watch, I mean the police, arrived."

Freakin sweet.

I have three swords hanging on my bedroom wall. Now I want someone to break in.

Careful what you wish for.

So not only does he get the weird idea of using a sword, he breaks into the home of a sword collector who is, you know, not going to have any around himself nor know how to use them. It would be funny until you wonder what he was going to do to his girlfriend with that three-foot pigsticker.
