Police takedown of woman in Star Wars stormtrooper costume won’t result in criminal charges

Turns out the cops thought it was a competing union muscling in on their racket.

An outside force says no criminal charges are warranted in relation to the handcuffing of a woman in a stormtrooper costume outside a Star Wars-themed business in Lethbridge, Alta., last May.

But Lethbridge police are still facing criticism for how the initial incident was handled — and some are calling for the full results of the outside investigation to be released.
