Based on how easily he was subdued by the police, his mishandling of multiple weapons, and clumsy armor, I would guess that this is actually a pretty low-level elf. Probably only 1st or 2nd level, with a very low armor class, and minimal hit points.
Sounds like he has a darned low Charisma for an elf to be mistaken for a pirate. Probably only half-elf.
