NEW YORK (AP) - A man reporting for jury duty was arrested when security discovered that his cane concealed a 2 1/2-foot sword and a 6-inch dagger, police said.
Vladislav Lisetskiy, 40, was arrested Monday at Brooklyn Supreme Court as he attempted to pass through security, police said.
The cane "attracted attention because of the way it looked," said Maj. Luz Bryan, commander of courthouse police. "It had two metal bands. It's an indication that something is concealed. My officers noticed it right away."
New York state law prohibits concealed blades or knives.
"He kept saying that he didn't know it was illegal," Bryan said.
Lisetskiy was charged with misdemeanor criminal possession of a weapon."
A NY'er that DIDN'T know it is illegal for anyone besides politicians, the rich, and the police to be allowed to carry a weapon for self-defense?
Preposterous.
Not like is says so right in the Constitution or anything.
And give your men a hearty "job well done", Major Bryan. Imagine the gall of that man to believe he was as special as your boys.
