UK: Drunk Darth Vader "Attacked" Church of Jedi Members
Apparently the guy drank the better part of a two and half gallon "box" of wine before the attack and claims "he doesn't remember the "attack". Well, yah.
A man who dressed up as Darth Vader, wearing a garbage bag for a cape, and assaulted the founders of a group calling itself the Jedi church was given a suspended sentence Tuesday.Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, attacked Jedi church founder Barney Jones -- aka Master Jonba Hehol -- with a metal crutch, hitting him on the head, prosecutors told Holyhead Magistrates' Court.
He also whacked Jones' 18-year-old cousin, Michael Jones -- known as Master Mormi Hehol -- bruising his thigh in the March 25 incident, prosecutors said.
He got off pretty easy:
District Judge Andrew Shaw sentenced Hughes to two months in jail but suspended the sentence for one year. He also ordered Hughes to pay $195 to each of his victims and $117 in court costs
Maybe the court felt sorry for him. Darth Vader in a "garbage cape"? Nutz.
