The department received reports of the armed man wandering near Independence Parkway and Vidalia Lane, south of Sam Rayburn Tollway, just before 10 a.m., Plano police spokesman David Tilley said.

Police said they believed the man has mental health issues or was on drugs.

"We were trying to communicate with him and are having difficulty," Tilley said.

Several officers told Chiquillo to drop the sword, but he did not comply.

They were able to continue talking to him at a safe distance as they waited for another officer to arrive with a non-lethal device that shoots a rubber baton.

"When it hits them, then it kind of stuns them and most often they drop what they've got and that's when our officers are able to jump in and take the individual into custody," Tilley said.

Chiquillo was detained by about 10:15 a.m.
