It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.
He's been wanted by the Empire, the First Order, an array of bounty hunters, and now... NoLa police.
New Orleans PD are hunting for Chewbacca following a stabbing in the French Quarter on Saturday night.
NOPD released a photo of the suspect, carrying a red lightsaber:

"#NOPD looking for street performer who wears a Star Wars Chewbacca costume, believed to be unknown black male in his 20s," they tweeted. "Subject is suspected of stabbing victim w/knife during altercation on April 24."
According to Nola.com, the suspect's mask fell off during the fight. Alas, the only mugshot they had of him was still in full costume — hence the inadvertently hilarious wanted poster.

Another claimed he had spotted him driving a car, possibly a Ford Falcon; however that sighting turned out to be an older video of a female Wookiee, Chewbacca Mom.
