The Resurrection of Jacen Solo
Jacen Solo - Eldest son of Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo, the younger twin of Jaina Solo and the older brother of Anakin Solo. A child who grew into a man. A man who grew into a Jedi Knight. A Jedi Knight who grew into a Sith Lord. He was a man to be feared, (Read: Killed many ‘named’ characters), and a man to be respected. It has been told in the annals of Intergalactic History that he died at the hands of his older, twin sister in a duel to be remembered.
So I have to ask: What was he doing in a gas station restroom, in Arkansas?
MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. – Bare footprints on a toilet seat led sheriff’s deputies to find a man hidden away inside a Baxter County gas station ceiling, apparently “on a mission” to steal, officials said Tuesday. Jeremy J. Fleming, 34, of Midway, initially refused to offer his name to sheriff’s deputies after his arrest early Tuesday morning, Sgt. Bob Bushbacher said. Fleming later told deputies his name was “Jason Solo,” though fingerprints gave his identity away, it was reported.
Fleming entered the Triangle Citgo Mini-Mart in Midway barefoot around 1:30 a.m. and walked into the women’s bathroom, Bushbacher said. After 20 minutes, Fleming walked into the employee’s bathroom and later returned to the women’s. An hour passed and an employee decided to check on the man. The bathroom was empty, but the employee found footprints on the toilet seat and a ceiling tile torn down. The employee called police after hearing rustling in the gas station’s ceiling.
A sheriff’s deputy arrived and called out to Fleming, asking him to come down from the ceiling. Fleming initially refused, but crawled out of the ceiling in the men’s room thirty minutes later, Bushbacher said. When asked what he was doing, Fleming told the deputy he was “on a mission” to steal. Though he acted irrational, Fleming did not have an odor of alcohol about him at the time of his arrest, the sergeant noted.
“The officer this morning said that the guy was somewhat irrational,” Bushbacher said. “Well, yeah. The guy comes into a business at 1:30 in the morning with no shoes on and is going from bathroom to bathroom crawling around in the ceiling. I can see how you could classify that as irrational or somewhat unusual behavior.” Fleming faces criminal mischief and criminal trespassing charges. He was being held Tuesday at the Baxter County Jail on $710 bond. (He’s boned, if all he has is a cred chip.)
Mountain Home Law Enforcement would only release this still photo from the gas station footage.
Blogger’s Comment: I can see the confusion in the report. It’s clear that the deputies who were taking it were merely assuming it to be the ‘normal’ spelling of Jason. That is the main problem with dealing with earth’s police force. Those are the struggles that you come across, especially in Arkansas. If a long-thought-dead Sith Lord cannot have his name spelled right, you have to ask yourself - is there really justice?
