August 2, 2005
IOWA CITY, Iowa --A man who chased his neighbors with a 2-foot sword while naked last winter pleaded guilty to a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.
Curtis Rarick, 45, of North Liberty, could face up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine at sentencing on Sept. 16. As part of a plea bargain, a charge of public intoxication was dismissed.
Police say they responded to a reported altercation on Feb. 27.
Rarick's neighbors told police he was standing naked in his front yard.
He got upset when they told him to put clothes on, dashed back in his house and came out with a sword. He then chased and threatened them, they told police.
Police said Rarick had a blood alcohol content of 0.12 percent.
