A 23-year-old Powell man accused of using a Japanese-style sword to attack his roommate during an argument has been sentenced to five years of supervised probation. Matthew J. Thull has pleaded no contest to felony aggravated assault stemming from a Nov. 4 altercation with Antroine Smiley. Smiley told police Thull kicked in a bathroom door, made threats, yelled expletives about unpaid rent and swung at him with a sword known as a katana. Investigators determined Smiley was cut on both hands as he tried to grab the sword from his roommate. Thull was ordered to pay $1,045 to cover Smiley's medical bills.
