FINED FOR POSSESSING OFFENSIVE WEAPON CTS Fined for possessing offensive weapon Walking down the main road in Somerset with a Samurai sword cost a man $500 yesterday.
Myron Dill, 40, admitting possession of an offensive weapon in a public place, argued in Magistrates' Court that he only used the sword to trim hedges and for martial arts training.
But prosecutor Sgt. Rex Osborne presented a different story. According to the investigating officers, Dill was seen walking down Somerset Road about 9.50 p.m. on August 13 with the two-and-a-half-foot sword in hand.
He told Police "the fight'' was not with them, but with some youths who were stealing stuff from his yard, Sgt. Osborne said.
Dill told the Court the Police's case was "garbage'' and he had bought the sword on Court Street ten years ago for innocent purposes.
But Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis said his actions were clearly offensive. He fined him and ordered the weapon "held and destroyed''.
