Brazen!

Did last Tuesday's swordification of an intruder in Charles Village put a damper on burglarizing?
Hellz naw!
At least three in the area since, from JHU security via Spotcrime:

Burglary (Private Residence) – 220 E. University Parkway (north side) – Sept. 18th at 1:00 PM, a non-affiliate responded to his residence only to discover the front door forced open. The resident notified Baltimore Police who responded, searched the location and found an unauthorized male inside. The suspect was arrested and charged with residential burglary. 

(Private Residence / non-affiliate) – 3200 Blk. N. Calvert St. – On Sept. 19th between 1:27 AM and 1:33 AM, a non-affiliated community member was awakened by a noise from a 2nd floor bedroom and on checking into it observed an unknown male run down the stairs and out the 1st floor rear kitchen door. A jewelry box containing jewelry was discovered missing.  Entry is believed to have been gained via the unlocked kitchen door.  Baltimore Police responded.

(Private Residence / grad student) – Unit Blk. W. 27th St. – On Sept. 21st at 5:00 AM, a graduate student’s [sic] was awakened by a noise coming from her bathroom.  Upon investigating she heard someone on the fire escape and then observed an unknown male running down the alley. Inventory of the apartment revealed a laptop computer, Netbook and wallet were missing. Entry had been gained via an unlocked bathroom window.  Baltimore Police responded. Investigation continuing.

Ponts v. Rice

The recap, in case you missed it.
So, Hopkins students "Ponts" and "Woody" hear a noise in the basement in the middle of the night. But instead of calling 911, like Richard Nolan would have done, they go out searching, Ponts with a bone-shearingly sharp sword and no idea who is out there and if they're armed or not (what if they'd had a mace?). The roommates claim the intruder was hiding inside of the garage, then lunged. Somehow, though, they got outside to the patio to do his screaming and bleeding.
Weather or not Ponts will be charged with a crime remains to be seen, and inquiring rubberneckers are dying to see a photo of this kid.

Dayum!

"Police: JHU Student Killed Intruder With Samurai Sword"
Former roomie Diego tells WBAL, "it was, like, a wakizashi ... it, like, fit nicely with the rest of the room."

Update @1:30: "The intruder is identified as Donald Dwayne Rice of Baltimore City."

... but hode up. did the incident happen in the garage, as students say... or, as WBAL writes, on the patio?
