Dumb Criminals: Chewbacca Arrested Campaigning For Darth Vader In Ukraine
Here's what happens when you turn to the Dark Side.
In one of the most surreal election scenes anywhere in the galaxy, "Chewbacca" was arrested in the Ukraine on Sunday while campaigning for Darth Vader.
The person dressed as the legendary Wookie was reportedly accused of violating a law that forbids campaigning on election day.
Chewbacca even appeared in court, looking just a little worse for the wear:

In the Ukraine it's apparently illegal to campaign on election day, which makes this a dumb criminal, but still this ranks about a 9.8 out of 10 on my WTF-O-Meter.
