Mistaken Identity

A man with the Facebook name Grampian Stormtrooper was on his way to a DeeCon at the University of Dundee in Scotland when the train suddenly stopped shortly after leaving Aberdeen station, Fox News reported.

A guard approached Grampian, who was in full stormtrooper gear, and asked about his blaster.

"Apparently someone reported it to the police," Grampian posted on Facebook. "Met by two firearms officers."

Grampian was removed from the train, asked to return home and get a bag for the blaster and instructed not to wear his stormtrooper armor on the train.

"Crazy world we live in," he noted. [Fox News, 4/10/2024]
