A Red Lion man is going to prison for a physical altercation that ended
with another man fleeing after a plastic ninja sword was poked into his
rectum.

According to York Area Regional Police, Christopher Eugene Weaver and
Adam Boston got into a fight July 23 with a third man inside a home in the
100 block of West Gay Street in Red Lion.

During the fight, Boston pulled a blanket over the other man's head and
held him down while Weaver "stuck" the sword into the man's rectum,
police reported.

The man was able to flee and contacted police. Officers said a witness told
them Boston had come out of the house afterward, laughing and
recounting the incident in detail.

The victim was treated for injuries at York Hospital that were determined
to be consistent with the attack, according to police reports.

Thursday in York County Common Pleas Court, Weaver and Boston both
pleaded guilty to simple assault.

Weaver, 26, was sentenced to two days less than one to two years in
prison, the maximum county sentence. Boston, 22, also of Red Lion,
received 23 months of probation with the first 90 days to be served on
house arrest.

Charges of aggravated indecent assault without consent filed against both
men were dismissed in the plea agreements.

Weaver was sentenced to one year probation and fined $50 in 2001 for
cruelty to animals. According to reports, he pleaded guilty to stabbing his
German shepherd. The dog survived.

After Thursday's hearing, senior prosecutor Chris Moore said only, "You
can't make this stuff up."
