There is actually a prosecutor in Wayne County, Michigan named Luke Skywalker

It’s a trap!

Enter Luke Skywalker. Yes, the assistant county prosecutor assigned to the case was actually named Luke Skywalker. Which means we get to fill this post with “Star Wars” references.

Update: May the force (of the subpoena) be with him.

Update 2: On Twitter, you ask, and you shall receive.

@joshmblackman I interned at WCPO. He liked the movies and legally changed his name; tells story quickly at intro to avoid witty responses.
