From the south Jetty the newspaper for Port Aransas:

Sunday, July 27
1:28 p.m.
• A man was arrested
on suspicion of aggravated assault with
a weapon in the 200
block of Oleander
Street. Police said one
man allegedly punched
the other after repeatedly striking him with a
painted metal walking
stick with stickers on it.

Back in 2005, I caught a Class B 46.02 because of a friend's nightstick/baton that I had left in my car:

Pepper spray is the best intermediate step in this case unless your like me and need a cane from time to time.
