Man Arrested At Macy's In NYC For Carrying Sword

Man Arrested At Macy's In NYC For Carrying Sword

NEW YORK, May. 26, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(AP) A man who was carrying a rusted pirate-style sword through Macy's flagship store in Manhattan is facing charges of criminal possession of a weapon.

Police say 29-year-old Lawrence Jackson was brandishing the curved sword while visiting Macy's Herald Square store Sunday with his girlfriend.

He told police he was carrying the sword because he is a member of a kickball team whose players often wear pirate-themed costumes. He maintains he was on his way to a game when he was arrested.
