Police identified David Allen Canterbury as the suspect in Wednesday's light saber assault in a Hayden Island Toys R Us.

Canterbury, of Hillsboro, faces accusations of second-degree disorderly conduct, third-degree theft, resisting arrest and interfering with a police officer after allegedly swinging a "Star Wars"-style weapon at customers and police officers.

Canterbury is accused of assaulting three people with a blue light saber at the store, located at 1800 Jantzen Beach Center. He then left the store holding the saber.

Officers tried to arrest him, but he kept swinging the saber at them, police said. One tried to use his Taser on the suspect but the device didn't work.

Another officer used his Taser and made contact, but Canterbury knocked one of the wires away with the light saber.

The officers finally arrested the suspect after grabbing him and pinning him to the ground.

Police said none of the victims of the light saber assault needed medical attention.
