Karate Fan With Fan

Another nutcase "black belt in karate". Probably an "expert" too :-)

Story:
Connecticut -- According to a suspicious person complaint on May 3 at 3:47 p.m., a woman said a male in a van was parked near her driveway at about 10 a.m. May 1.

The driver reportedly opened the rear door of the van and put out a traffic cone. The truck had no marking on it.

When the woman left and then returned home a half hour later, the van was across the street in front of a neighbor's house. Police said the neighbor spoke to the man, who showed him what appeared to be a United Illuminating Co. ID badge.

The neighbor said the man had a collapsible fan and told the neighbor he was using the fan to "practice his marital arts moves" and that he had a black belt in karate.

Police said the driver claimed he was in the area checking the electrical hookups. The neighbor noted that the man never went to any of the houses.

The complainant called to check out the man's story and reportedly learned there were no work orders for her street.
