Authorities say a Panama City Beach motel guest tried to scare off deputies with a medieval battle ax, a knife and a long sword.

The Bay County Sheriff's Office reports that deputies responded to the Sting Ray Motel Tuesday morning after management called 911 to complain that a guest was acting strange.

When a deputy stepped out of his patrol car, officials say 33-year-old Terrence Croskery threw a battle ax and then a 6-inch knife through the window of the motel room.

Deputies say Croskery then pulled out a broad sword and locked himself in the bathroom. When deputies finally got into the bathroom, they say Croskery was unconscious. The man was taken to a nearby hospital.

Officials say Croskery will be charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer.
