An argument with his live-in girlfriend over what she claimed was his excessive drinking led to worse trouble last week for a Florida defense attorney.

Terry Lee Locy, 36, was arrested Thursday at Cape Canaveral Hospital in Cocoa Beach after an early morning fight Wednesday in which he allegedly, while naked, challenged his live-in girlfriend to a duel, handing her a sheathed sword and telling her “You’re going to need this,” reports Florida Today.

According to an arrest affidavit, Locy then allegedly unsheathed a bigger sword and threatened to kill the woman, who ran away.

The article doesn’t include any comment from Locy, who was charged with domestic violence battery and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Released on Friday from the Brevard County Detention Center, he was ordered to get a mental health evaluation, Florida Today reports.
