Warrant issued for Luke Sky Walker in Carter County

Luke Sky Walker is in trouble again, and no Jedi mind trick will save him.

The 22-year-old Carter County man is charged with property theft of more than $1,000. Last year he was arrested for violation of probation, which came as the result of a felony theft charge.

The Carter County Sheriff’s Office had fun with Walker’s “Star Wars” name on Wednesday, announcing on Facebook that, “He is not … armed with a light saber, flying an X-Wing (or) missing a hand.”

And none other than Mark Hamill, the original Luke Skywalker, is making jokes about Walker.

Last fall Hamill tweeted that “the real crime here is Mr. & Mrs. Walker saddling this poor guy with that name in the first place” and added #AlsoTooShortForAStormtrooper in reference to Walker’s 5’6” height.
