Man Armed With A Sword Threatens Landlord's Life Over Living Arrangements

A Michigan male is facing jail time after using a sword during a dispute with his landlord this week.

Authorities say Prasavath Khonesavanhv, 45, of Massachusetts threatened to kill his landlord on Monday while the two were arguing over living arrangements. His weapon of choice is said to have been a sword, which was concealed by a cane.

No one was injured, and Khonesavanhy was arrested and charged with possession of a dangerous weapon and assault with a dangerous weapon, reports the Lowell Sun. Due to the nature of his crime, he is being held without bail. He will also be required to undergo a mental health evaluation.

This is not the first time in the U.S. someone has used a sword as a weapon. Earlier this month in Montana, Jarrell Aaron Anderson, 39, put a spear to a woman’s throat and allegedly forced her to give him oral sex.

Once arrested, he was charged with one count of aggravated burglary, three counts of aggravated kidnapping, three counts of assault with a weapon, robbery, aggravated sexual intercourse without consent, theft and obstructing a peace officer.
