Would-be robber gets the point

A knife-wielding, would-be
thief should have thought twice about trying to steal the purse of local
sword-wielding belly dancer.
“It was one of the weirdest things, one of
those things you only see on TV,” said dancer Zarmineh Moody. “I guess it was
like the police officer said: I had the bigger knife.”
The Yuma woman was
the victim of an attempted armed robbery at the Fry's parking lot on 24th Street
and 4th Avenue.
After having taught a class at World Gym, 5-foot 3-inch
tall Moody said she stopped off at Fry's grocery store to do some quick
shopping. While she was putting her groceries into her car, Moody said, she was
approached from behind by a man with a knife who called her a nasty name and
demanded her purse.
“I kept thinking ‘This can't be happening,'” Moody
said, recalling the event from three weeks ago. “I looked back and saw the knife
and had a panic attack.”
Moody said she told the robber that her purse
was on the back seat of her car and that she would get it for him. “He kept
calling me the ‘b' word and telling me to hurry up.”
Instead of getting
her purse as the robber had demanded, Moody, a professional belly dancer whose
specialty is dancing with swords, grabbed her 25-inch Turkish scimitar sword.
She held it up to his stomach and asked, “You still want my purse?”
“I
usually don't keep it there. It is usually in my trunk,” Moody said. “The only
reason it was there was because I hadn't put it away yet.”
Moody said she
and the robber stood facing each for a few moments, blades in hand, before she
asked him a second time if he still wanted her purse.
“This time I poked
him in the belly with the tip of the sword. I didn't blink. I kept eye contact
with him the entire time.”
Realizing he wasn't going to get Moody's
purse, he left the parking lot on a bicycle. Moody immediately called 911 on her
cell phone to report the incident.
“I was unbelievably scared and shaking
the entire time. I guess he wasn't expecting someone to challenge him like
that.”
When police arrived, they asked Moody to explain what had
happened.
“I could tell they were both amused but were trying to keep
straight faces. They said ‘You are one brave and dangerous woman and I guess you
had the bigger knife!'”
Moody said she still has the police report of the
incident and is considering framing it as a keepsake.
