Now, there's something you don't see every day. A Star Wars Stormtrooper walking down the street.
It happened in Salina Monday, and it prompted a brief lockdown of at least one downtown business. Salina Police say officers responded to the report of an armed man in the 100 block of S. 7th Street.
The call came from nearby business, Action Travel, as a customer saw what appeared to be a man in a costume, carrying a weapon. Police advised the business to go into lockdown as police checked out the situation.
Police said the man and a friend was shooting a video for Vine, and the weapon was a plastic prop gun. The incident was captured on camera, and KSAL posted the image.
The man has been identified as 27-year-old Christopher Burns. He was not arrested, but police did advise him about walking around with a simulated fire arm.
Maybe the store owner should see a movie once in a while.
Kansas: I’d go armed there too. Sebelius country.
It was....We got rid of her, but I apologize for inflicting her upon the rest of the country.
(And we DO go armed here!)
