Nunchuck flasher arrested with a fight

CHARLESTON, S.C., March 22 (UPI) -- Police in South Carolina arrested a nunchuck wielding alleged flasher, but they picked up some cuts and bruises in the process.

Charleston police said they responded Tuesday morning to a call that Rudolph Claude Smith, 49, had allegedly approached a neighbor about borrowing oil, then removed his robe and asked her to put it on him.

The 61-year-old neighbor said Smith told her he needed the oil on him so he could do the kick-boxing, Tae-Bo workout, the Charleston Post and Courier reports.

When police arrived they told Smith to put down the nunchucks. Police said he refused, so they used batons to defend against the nunchucks and punches.

Police also said the oil on Smith's body made it harder to subdue him.

Both responding officers were injured.

Smith was charged with first-degree burglary, indecent exposure and two counts each of assaulting police and resisting arrest.

His wife said he is bipolar and hasn't taken his medication for more than a year.
