‘Ancient Sword of The
Meth King’ Seized By
Michigan Police
By Paula Froelich
A fearsome-look- ing weapon dubbed the “Ancient Sword of the Meth King” by a Michigan police depart- ment is now in
police evidence.
The Bath Township Police Department post- ed a Facebook photo this week of a cache of weapons — including the
insane looking sword — and noted jokingly, “*While You Were Sleeping* In the early morning of Jan 27, Officers conducted a traf- fic stop on a vehicle. A subse-
quent search located a very odd combination of illegally pos- sessed weapons as well as methampheta- mine.”
The post was
hashtagged with #ObviouslyAHiPo int #LordOfTheRings MeetsJohnWick and #AncientSwordOf TheMethKing.
“The small-town
police depart- ment is well- known for crack- ing jokes on Facebook, and readers were quick to applaud their latest offer- ing. The post has received more than 3,100 com- ments and 4,500 likes since Wednesday,” acc ording to Global News.
It turns out the weapon is from the hit Japanese anime “Bleach,” which eagle-eyed fans pointed out. It belongs to a character named Renji Abarai. Replicas can be bought online
at Heavenly Swords for a mere $58.99
