Chewbacca Was Arrested For Trying To Help Darth Vader Vote In An Election

It took four Ukrainian police officers to bring the Wookiee to justice.

True to form, it took several Ukrainian police officers to restrain Chewbacca. Given that Wookiees are known to rip people's arms out of their sockets when they lose, it's lucky that the officers survived the ordeal.
