‘Chewbacca' Arrested at Polls on Election Day in Ukraine

It’s not every day police end up arresting a Wookiee.

Ukrainian officials took someone dressed up as the hairy “Star Wars” character Chewbacca into custody on Sunday, NBC News reported.

The person was picked up at a polling station in Odessa for violating election rules and campaigning on voting day.

"Chewbacca" was supporting candidate "Darth Vader," a Sith lord candidate who was running in local elections, NBC News reported.

Police posted a photo of the arrest on Instagram, calling it “nothing unusual.”
