'Chewbacca' Arrested At Polls On Election Day

VIDEO: Weird News - Star Wars Chewbacca campaigns for Darth Vader, gets handcuffed by police in Ukrainian election.

ODESSA, UKRAINE - Force Flops? The Force prevents Odessa mayoral candidate 'Darth Vader' from voting - Darth Vader along with his convoy of Storm Troopers and wookie Chewbacca showed up to vote in the mayoral elections in Odessa, Ukraine, Sunday.



Lord Vader complained about the detention of his supporter. He also said he failed to cast his own ballot as he was missing from the voter registry - despite the fact he has a Ukrainian passport, issued for Darth Alekseyevich Vader.

Ukrainians are casting ballots in a poll that is viewed by many as a confidence vote for the ruling coalition, which has lost much of its popularity following 20 months of economic hardships. Despite the somber mood, there were a number of strange incidents that took place around the country.



Police arrest voting 'Chewbacca' with Han Solo nowhere to be seen - The growling, hairy spaceship mechanic from Star Wars was fined an equivalent of $7.50 on Sunday, after breaking the country's election laws, as he attempted to canvass voters for Darth Vader, according to the Ukrainian publication Dumskaya.

A man dressed as Star Wars’ Chewbacca was arrested after refusing to show documentation to police, outside an Odessa polling station on Sunday.



The detention of the erstwhile companion of smuggler-turned-hero Han Solo, who appears to have turned to the Dark Side, happened in the port city of Odessa. Chewbacca drove Darth Vader to a polling station, but police arrested him for violating a law that forbids campaigning on election day. They were also dismayed when he failed to produce a valid ID, and resisted arrest.

Deaf Man Arrested For Bomb Threat Hoax

VIDEO: Exclusive: Deaf West Virginia man was arrested in Lubbock, Texas for Statue of Liberty bombing hoax in New York City.

NEW YORK POST - A Deaf West Virginia man was arrested in Texas on Wednesday for calling in a fake bomb threat to blow up the Statue of Liberty which forced the evacuation of more than 3,200 people from Liberty Island back in April, authorities said.

Jason Paul Smith, 42, called 911 from his iPad on April 24 and said his name was “Abdul Yasin,” that he was an “ISI terrorist,” and threatened that “we” are preparing to “blow up” the Statue of Liberty, court papers state.



Abdul Yasin is the last remaining fugitive charged with the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, according to court papers.



Smith goes to a school for the Deaf and Blind, and allegedly made the 911 call using a service that lets hearing-impaired people make phone calls.



The iPad registered to Smith made other 911 calls, including two in May 2015 from somebody who identified himself as “Isis allah Bomb maker” and who threatened to attack Times Square and kill police officers at the Brooklyn Bridge, according to the Manhattan US Attorney.



Smith could face up to five years behind bars for making the hoax call. He’ll appear Wednesday afternoon in federal court in the Northern District of Texas. Source
