Jail time for Hillsboro man in light saber attack at Toys R Us
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon judge is using his force to order a 45-day jail sentence and mental health evaluation for a would-be Jedi who attacked toy store customers with light sabers last December.
David Allen Canterbury told Judge Kenneth Walker that he is already seeking mental health treatment. Canterbury also apologized to his victims.
The Oregonian reports that the 33-year-old Canterbury pleaded no contest Monday to assault and resisting arrest.
Portland police say Canterbury had a Star Wars light saber in each hand as he swung at three customers last Dec. 14 at a Toys R Us store. He carried the light sabers outside the store and swung at police.
Officers eventually wrestled him to the ground.
Canterbury has been banned from the toy store.

Where's a Jedi knight when you need him?

The force is strong with this one.
However, the force is stronger with the judge.

It was amusing to watch the local news anchors try not to snicker when they first reported the original arrest....

"wrestled to the ground?"
I'm very disappointed they couldn't be more creative than that.Captain Frank Drebin, Police Squad!

I can imagine the contact:
LEOs: Hey Buddy, drop the light sabers and come on over here!
Canterbury: "I'm not the suspect you are looking for." ::waves his hand in the air::
LEOs: You're under arrest for roleplaying outside convention center limits.
Canterbury: "I'm wearing boots of escaping!" ::runs away::

Wasn't there a similar story on Reno 9-1-1?
