Great story from Colorado - from the Denver CBS affiliate:
Renaissance Festival Wench Takes Down Sword Thief, Puts Him ‘In A Headlock’
A man who crashed a jousting performance at the Colorado Renaissance Festival now faces theft and attempted assault charges.
The Colorado Springs man allegedly tried to steal a sword during the middle of the joust at the renaissance fair in Larkspur. He was tackled by a fair employee and it was all caught on camera.
The jousting tourney just ended when Connor Ward, 22, allegedly jumped over the fence, ran into the middle of the field and stole one of the knight’s swords.
A bit more:
She tackled the would-be thief.
“I caught him off guard so I jumped on his back and kind of put him in a headlock.”
A photographer at the scene took photos.
The wench was the wife of one of the knights jousting.
