Not a real mugshot
Granted, it was a car-on-car incident with minimal injuries but when you’re named after a Jedi Master born-and-raised on Stewjon and you not only run afoul of a nation’s laws, but the one that Hickey pays really close attention to, well, of course it deserves a breakout post from the standard Hit And Run America fare.

Obiwan Kenobi, 37, allegedly left the scene after a five-car collision that occurred at a Roseville intersection just after 4 p.m. on March 19.
Based on an investigation and witness statements, police determined three vehicles were stopped in the straight-ahead lane of westbound Fairway Drive and a fourth vehicle was stopped in the left-turn turn lane, preparing to turn left, according to Dee Dee Gunther of the Roseville Police Department.
A fifth vehicle, described as a green Honda-type sedan, approached in the left-turn lane and then attempted to merge right into the straight-ahead lane, between two of the vehicles that were waiting to go straight, Gunther said.
The sedan collided with the two vehicles it tried to merge between, setting off a chain-reaction collision causing the other two waiting vehicles to be hit, Gunther said.
The green sedan, which police suspect was being driven by Kenobi, then fled the scene, police said.
