Star Wars: Episode I – Phantom Menace actor, Jake Lloyd was arrested after high-speed chase.
Jake Lloyd, who appeared as a child playing Anakin Skywalker in 1999’s ‘Star Wars’ prequel “The Phantom Menace,” has been arrested in South Carolina after leading police on a high-speed car chase, according to TMZ.
Lloyd was reportedly driving in Charleston, S.C., when police attempted to pull him over. Lloyd then apparently led cops on a chase that went on for miles and ended when Lloyd lost control of his car and crashed into trees.
The 26-year-old was arrested for reckless driving, failure to stop, resisting arrest and driving without a license, reports TMZ. He is currently in custody.
In a recent interview, however, Lloyd revealed that he left the film business for good, saying his “Star Wars” fame ruined his childhood and made his life a “living hell.”
