A Boulder man accused of brandishing a katana sword and chasing two people outside a Lafayette ATM earlier this month has been charged with felony menacing and harassment.
Online court records indicate Mark Maxwell Smith, 28, who also goes by Marc Maxwell, is due in Boulder County Court for a preliminary hearing on April 12. He remained in custody at the Boulder County Jail on Tuesday.
A couple called Lafayette police on March 17 after they stopped near Elevations Credit Union, 1900 W. South Boulder Road, and alleged that Smith was armed with a katana sword and ran after them.
The couple escaped unharmed and police located Smith a short time later and took him into custody.
Police at the time also weighed an attempted robbery charge and a possession of a dangerous weapon charge.
