Sword, Sandwich Used in Attack on Women, Deputies Say

A Winter Haven man remained in jail Sunday after he was accused of attacking three women with a 4-foot sword and a peanut-butter sandwich, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

Mark Christopher Miller, 50, used the sword to threaten two women, one of them pregnant, and then smeared another with the sandwich before the deputies hauled him away, according to his arrest report.

As the deputies drove him to jail, Miller ripped a piece of padding from the inside of the patrol car with his teeth, the report says.

The fracas began when Miller heard a disturbance outside his mobile home at 2500 U.S. 92 W. No. 18A. He exited, sword in hand, and "poked" it at the 6-month pregnant woman's stomach, the report says. She managed to grab the blade and stop him from stabbing her.
