Darth Vader Mugs Pizza Man
Wednesday, October 06, 2004
KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA-(AP)- Darth Vader walks among us, and he's not in a happy mood.
That's according to Kissimmee, Fla., authorities, who reported over the weekend that a pizza deliveryman was nearly robbed by an imposing figure dressed as the "Star Wars" bad guy.
"This is a criminal mind trying to think of things to do to victimize people," Osceola County Deputy Sheriff Al Dearmas told WFTV-TV of Orlando.
The deliveryman brought a pizza to a Kissimmee address Sunday night, said Dearmas, only to find no one home.
He got back into his car to drive away, when Darth Vader, mask, black outfit and all, suddenly materialized.
In a presumably commanding voice, the evil Sith Lord (search) ordered the deliveryman to give up all his cash.
The pizza man hit the gas and sped off, but not before getting a good zap from what may have been a laser blaster, a light saber or perhaps just a stun gun.
"Thank God nothing happened to the victim," Dearmas told the TV station. "We are very fortunate for that."
"But things could have been much worse," he added, possibly considering the awesome power of the Dark Side.
The call ordering the pizza was made from a pay phone at a drugstore around the corner.
"We were able to obtain some fingerprints from the pay phone, and we have sent out to ... see if we can have a match," said Dearmas.
Tipsters are urged to call the Osceola County Sheriff's Office, and maybe Obi-Wan Kenobi as well.
