Punta Gorda Man Threatens Mother with Deadly Ninja Weapon
Well, folks, it seems we’ve got ourselves a real-life ninja showdown at the Punta Gorda Senior Apartments. Move over, a Ninja Turtles, because 41-year-old, Clifton Blakely, decided to spice up his evening with a sai weapon, of all things.
According to NBC2, it’s a regular Wednesday night, and a distressed mother calls the police to report that her dear son, Mr. Blakely, is practicing his home improvement skills by punching holes in her apartment walls. Not the most constructive way to spend your evening, I must say.
When the officers arrive on the scene, they find our would-be ninja, Mr. Blakely, standing outdoors underneath a lanai, brandishing what can only be described as a dagger-like weapon known as a sai. Talk about a plot twist!
The tension escalates as the officers, with nerves of steel, make their way to the front door, only to hear a woman’s frantic cries urging Blakely to “Put it down.” But, alas, nobody answers the doorbell, and desperate times call for desperate measures.
Punta Gorda Ninja:
The door meets its untimely end as the officers bust it open. Inside, they discover Mr. Blakely, armed with not one, but two sais. He channels his inner ninja and hurls one of these sharp-edged toys at the officers, but it’s a miss. So, in come the tasers, the modern-day weapons of choice for law enforcement.
Our unskilled ninja , undeterred, throws the second sai with the grace of a drunken pirate, missing the officers once again. And what do our heroes do? They taser him, of course! In fact, they taser him twice more for good measure, bringing the grand total to a shocking four times before they can slap some cuffs on him.
Now, Mr. Blakely finds himself enjoying the hospitality of the Charlotte County Jail, all thanks to his little escapade. He’s facing charges that include resisting officers with violence, aggravated assault, and aggravated assault on officers. Not exactly a recipe for a peaceful evening, is it?
But let’s not forget Don Murl, the neighbor with a knack for witty commentary. He rightfully points out that if someone throws a sword at you when you’ve got a gun, well, you might feel inclined to shoot back.
In the end, it seems that Verandas of Punta Gorda had its own action-packed thriller, complete with tasers, sais, and one unforgettable night. Who needs Netflix when you have real-life ninja drama right outside your door?
