James Van Iveren claims he was simply trying to save a woman from being raped, following being charged with criminal trespass, disorderly conduct, and criminal damage to property. He was released on a $5,000 bond and ordered to appear in court on March 9. The charges resulted from him kicking in the door following what he believed to be screams of terror, but were in fact screams from a porno movie. On February 12th, after Van Iveren heard a female scream in neighbor Bret Stieghorst's upstairs apartment, he grabbed a 39-inch cavalry sword, and ran upstairs to confront his neighbor. Van Iveren had intended to knock on the door, but instead kicked the door in and forced his way inside.

According to a police affidavit, Van Iveren kicked open the door of an apartment without warning and pointed a sword at the owner, who was watching an adult DVD at the time.
