CUE POD RACER JOKES …
|| By FITSNEWS || Jake Lloyd – the actor who portrayed Anakin Skywalker in the 1999 Star Wars’ franchise reboot The Phantom Menace – has been arrested in South Carolina after leading authorities on a high speed chase along Interstate 95.
The 26-year-old actor from Fort Collins, Colorado reportedly told police his name was Jake Broadbent.
Officers from the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office, the Walterboro Police Department and the Colleton County Sheriff’s Department were involved in the pursuit – during which Lloyd’s vehicle reportedly topped speeds of 100 miles per hour.
The incident ended when Lloyd’s “vehicle ran off the right hand side of the road and drove through a fence and continued driving along a frontage road that ran alongside I-95,” eventually running into some trees.
The actor is currently being held on $10,700 bond in the Colleton County, S.C. detention center after being charged with reckless driving.
Here’s Lloyd’s absolutely badass mug shot …

Exactly. I thought that kid was the worst child actor I had ever seen. I couldn't believe there wasn't someone better than that kid. Just awful.
Couldn’t stand that character.... needs to be in a death match with Jar Jar Binks... and the winner gets shoved out an airlock.
LOL.
Yes.
During filming he was so obnoxious they referred to him as Atitagain when they had to re-shoot scenes because he was copping an attitude so bad.
The rest of the actors hated him, kid or not.
Doesn’t surprise me at all he grew up to be a douche from what I read about him.
Is there a reporter in the house - what kind of car?
It was an assault vehicle!
