Man Brought Homemade Sword To Gym: Mendham Borough PD

MENDHAM, NJ — Do you know this man? Mendham Borough police are looking to speak with him, after he allegedly brought a homemade sword to The Club (formerly known as the Mendham Health and Racquet Club).

Detective Chris Irons said the man brought the sword to the Main Street gym around 8:20 p.m. on March 3. The man walked into the gym holding the sword and stayed inside for about a minute, before walking outside and stashing the sword in the bushes.

After hiding the sword, the man walked back inside and roamed around for eight minutes; he then walked outside again, Irons said. The man then laid down and went to sleep on the steps of the club.

Several members complained to management, who asked the man to leave. The man did not take his sword with him when he left, Irons said.

Anyone with information about this "suspicious incident" is asked to contact Irons directly at (973) 543-7827 or via email at irons@mendhamnj.org.
