A man in Nebraska who was reportedly angry about the rising cost of utilities was arrested last month after allegedly using a lightsaber replica to hit his neighbor and her child.

According to reports, on April 28, a man who lives in an apartment complex in Auburn became upset when he learned his rent was about to go up and reportedly became convinced that the increase was the fault of a woman and her youngster who live in the same building.

Around 8:30 pm, a 37-year-old woman was outside her unit watching while her daughter was playing outside with other children, and she noticed her neighbor standing nearby. The man allegedly returned to his residence and came out carrying a look-alike Star Wars lightsaber estimated to be 3.5 feet long. He reportedly walked up to the kids and hit the woman’s 7-year-old with the toy. According to the police report, the woman heard the young girl crying and asked her neighbor if he had hurt her daughter. He allegedly told her to go back inside because he was “not in the mood” before hitting the woman with the lightsaber.

A man suspected of burglarizing a home last Thursday tried to buck the accusation when he said a horse was the actual perpetrator.

Idaho resident Ashley Nicole Vidrine has been accused of fraudulently advertising a rental property and accepting money from interested prospective tenants while having no intention of renting to them.

Though Vidrine and her husband reside in the townhouse she had listed as available for rent, police estimated she allegedly accepted down payments for the property nearing $3000 since the start of their investigation in early September. When would-be tenants who paid her went to view the property they found no one available, and Vidrine was unable to be reached by telephone. It is unknown at this time whether or not her husband was also a part of the hoax.

Police took 25-year-old Vidrine into custody on Thursday and she faces multiple charges including felony grand theft by deception, and felony computer crime for “Use of a computer or network to obtain money by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations or promises or committing theft.” In addition, Vidrine is charged with one count of misdemeanor petty theft. She is being held in Madison County Jail on a $50,000 bond.
