Suspect of the First Order

California Highway Patrol officers trying to pull over a speeding car in San Diego ended up in a chase when the driver refused to pull over. After changing freeways and then exiting, the driver skidded to a stop and he and his passenger jumped out and ran; they were quickly chased down and arrested. Meanwhile, there was a “tense standoff” with another passenger ducking down in the back seat. Officers with their guns drawn ordered the passenger out, but he wouldn’t move. After carefully approaching, officers discovered that the passenger was actually a life sized Star Wars stormtrooper costume. (RC/KGTV San Diego) ...Don’t worry about a shootout with him: those guys can never hit anything.
