RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - Rapid City police used a beanbag shotgun
to subdue a man they say attacked them with ninja-type swords.
Authorities say officers who responded to a disturbance call at
a hotel late Thursday afternoon were confronted by a drunk man
armed with two swords who was uncooperative. An officer fired three
beanbag rounds at the man's legs and the suspect collapsed.
The 48-year-old man was arrested on a charge of aggravated
assault of a law enforcement officer.
