Darth Vader escapes jail
eiresol | May 13, 2008
“A man who dressed up as Darth Vader and attacked the founder of Britain’s first Jedi church was spared jail today.
Twenty seven year old Arwel Wynne Hughes, who has a chronic alcohol problem, jumped over a garden wall in Holyhead and launched the assault on the Star Wars obsessives while they filmed a documentary to promote their Jedi Church - which was formed last year.
Hughes who was drunk at the time bellowed “Darth Vader” as he hit Barney Jones over the head with a crutch and punched his cousin Michael in the thigh on March 25th.
Hughes was sentenced to two months in jail suspended for one year at the local Magistrates court today.”
