The former child actor who played young Anakin Skywalker was arrested last week after leading police on a high-speed chase, South Carolina authorities said.
Jake Lloyd, 26, was charged with failing to stop for officers and reckless driving after his arrest on Wednesday, the Associated Press reported. The chase lasted for about 25 miles — from Charleston County to Colleton County — with Lloyd reaching speeds of 100 mph, officials said.
At one point, Lloyd veered from Interstate 95 to a frontage road by plowing through a fence, the AP reported. The road ended in a wooded area, where Lloyd stopped after hitting several small trees, the Press and Standard reported.
When he was finally arrested, Lloyd gave his name as Jake Broadbent, Sgt. Kyle Strickland of the Colleton County Sheriff's Office told BuzzFeed News. He was driving without a license, and investigators at first had a hard time finding information about him.
On Thursday, a former talent agent confirmed that he had formerly been known as Jake Lloyd, Strickland said.
Lloyd was 10 years old when the first Star Wars prequel was released and mostly quit acting afterward. In addition to doing voice work for Star Wars video games, he previously appeared as Arnold Schwarzenegger's son in Jingle All the Way.
