Dude mistakes porn DVD as woman's cries for help

Here's a word of advice to all you guys who want to become heroes. Next time when you hear a woman's cry for help in the apartment above or next to you, think twice before you kick her door open and rescue her with your sword. From JS Online:

"It was a woman screaming," he recalled Tuesday. "She was screaming for help."

Sword in hand, he bounded up the stairs, kicked in the door and confronted a man who turned out to be alone - watching a pornographic movie.

"Now I feel stupid," Van Iveren said.

Worse yet, police seized his sword - a family heirloom - carted him to jail and referred the case to a prosecutor who charged Van Iveren with three criminal counts.

"This really is nothing," Van Iveren insisted, "nothing but a mistake."
