A Fort Lauderdale man named Johnnie Blade is accused of "wildly swinging" a multiple-edged, four-foot long sword used by Klingon characters on the Star Trek TV series as he stood in the middle of a residential intersection.
Blade, 33, was at the 2900 block of Northwest 4th Street in Broward County near Fort Lauderdale about 9:10 p.m. Tuesday, "proudly displaying" the crescent shaped weapon to passing motorists, a Broward Sheriff's arrest report states.
"This sword...is known to loyal Star Trek fans as traditional Klingon "Bat 'leth" or "Sword of Honor," according to the BSO report.

Blade was charged with improper exhibition of a dangerous weapon; possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis; disorderly intoxication in a public place that caused a disturbance and resisting an officer without violence.
A judge set a $100 bond Wednesday and ordered Blade to avoid swords and alcohol.
