Obiwan Kenobi accused of meth possession | Crime

ROSEVILLE, CA - Obiwan Kenobi is back in the news again and not in a good way.

The Rocklin man with the same name as the Star Wars figure, was arrested last Wednesday morning in Roseville at a business complex on the 7200 block of Galilee Road, said Roseville police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther. She said a police officer stopped Kenobi on a probation search at 1:52 a.m. and reported finding methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in Kenobi's possession.

Kenobi was arrested and booked into Placer County Jail on drug charges but has been released, Gunther said.

Kenobi was arrested last April for allegedly fleeing the scene of a hit and run crash in Roseville in March, 2012.
