'Star Wars' Actor Jake Lloyd Attacked Mom, Suffers from Schizophrenia

Former child actor Jake Lloyd who played Anakin Skywalker in 'Star Wars' was recently arrested by the police after being involved in a high speed car chase.

According to a new report from TMZ, the 26 year old actor is also said to have attacked his mother earlier this month before getting in his car last week where he hit speeds of 117 mph while being pursued by the police.

Jake's mother Lisa has revealed that her son has schizophrenia and has been off his meds for some time. She told police that Jake had showed up at her house and then began yelling at her. She said that Jake then accused her of ruining his life and then knocked her down on the floor.

TMZ reports that the actor stomped on his mother 3 or 4 times resulting in bruises and abrasions on her arm. She refused to press charges against her son when the police arrived some time later.

Lisa said that Jake showed signs of schizophrenia since he was 19 and has gotten help in the past. In spite of his attack on her, she stresses that "Jake is not a violent person".
