A teenage girl donning a “Star Wars” stormtrooper costume was arrested after her fake gun was mistaken for a real firearm in Alberta, Canada. ADVERTISEMENTHowever, Bradley Whalen, the owner of the restaurant the girl works for, said that the situation quickly took a turn for the worse. Whalen believes that some passersby reported the employee to authorities after seeing her with a plastic toy blaster, which they mistook for a real gun. The police then began telling the girl to put the toy gun down, as seen in a video posted by one Deiby Corleoni on YouTube on the same day. As the police approached the girl, Whalen came out of his restaurant and told them that the teenager was not holding a real firearm.
