Waco police arrested a robbery suspect whose Darth Vader mask was knocked away by the mans intended victim early this morning, authorities said.
Leon Childress, 44, is being held at McLennan County Jail on suspicion of trying to rob a Skinny's convenience store early Thursday.
Police said the suspect, identified as 44-year-old Leon Childress, wore a Star Wars Darth Vader mask and behaved as though he had a weapon when he demanded money from a clerk at a Skinnys convenience store at North 18th Street and Lyle Avenue at 3:25 a.m.
When Childress reached around the counter to the register, the clerk knocked the mask off his face, allowing the victim to get a good look at the suspect and identify him, according to officials.
Using the suspects last known address, officers arrested Childress at his Herring Avenue home without incident, police said. They were also able to recover evidence from the robbery, according to authorities.
Childress is being held at McLennan County Jail.
Here is Darth as a young gang banger:

A feat that Obi wan nor Luke could do.
That wasn’t me.
That was somebody that looks like me.
The force is strong in this cashier.
Look! I am your Robber.
Vader: Luke, I am your father. Succumb to the dark side and give me your Imperial credits.
Luke: (cashire): Huhh????
Vader: WHO YOUR DADDY NOW SUCKA (points blaster). Fork over the creds!!!
"This IS the criminal you are looking for."
"This IS the criminal you are looking for."
That’s not me. He is a imposter. I will pay him a visit and crush his larynx with the power of the dark side of the force.
“The boy you trained, gone he is, consumed by Darth Vader.”
Dark Vader.
“...behaved as though he had a weapon...”
Light saber?
Between this and the “Osama bin Laden had stoned fantasies about marrying Whitney Houston” thread, the entertainment value of the headlines tonight is higher than usual...
