A man child with a lightsaber (most likely a stunt saber with a thick riot shield plastic blade) attacked a 7 year old girl and her mother over what appears to be rent-related issues. The mother allegedly leaves the shared thermostat too high, so Aidan Orion White was worried his rent would be raised by the landlord. His court date is June 3rd.
Deputy testimony shows Aidon is on the autism spectrum and has previously chased a neighbor with an ax. He cycled between cordial cooperation and angry, expletive loaded outbursts where he continued to threaten the child and her mother, stating the attack was "just the start" and that they were in for a whole lot worse because of the rent being raised.

MAY 9--A Nebraska man is behind bars on a pair of felony charges for allegedly striking a female neighbor and the woman’s 7-year-old daughter with a Star Wars lightsaber, according to court records.
Investigators allege that Aidan Orion White, 25, first struck the girl while she playing with other children in the front yard of her Auburn home.
When the child’s mother, Saundra Lunzmann , 37, confronted White, he yelled at her, “I’m not in the mood, get back in your fucking house.” White then allegedly charged Lunzmann “wielding his lightsaber,” an arrest affidavit charges.
“Aidan struck Lunzmann on her right arm/shoulder,” reported a sheriff’s deputy. Both Lunzmann and her daughter said they were in pain following the lightsaber strikes.
Two neighbors told cops they witnessed White hitting the victims with the lightsaber, which investigators described as “a higher quality device, approximately 3 1/2 feet long constructed of metal and thick plastic.” The lightsaber, a deputy noted, “could cause significant pain and injury when used to strike an individual.”
During police questioning, White reportedly confessed to the attack, saying it was “unacceptable behavior” for which he wanted to apologize. While cordial with cops, White “would have profane and angry outbursts” that included him blaming the victims for a rise in his rent. He also warned of future problems for Lunzmann and her child.
The lightsaber was seized by police as evidence.
White, seen above, was charged in a criminal complaint with two felony assault counts. He is being held in lieu of $50,000 bail, according to a May 6 commitment order.
Scheduled for a June 3 court appearance, While has been ordered by a judge to undergo a competency evaluation.
