Charlie Brown voice actor arrested
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Authorities in California say the voice actor who portrayed Charlie Brown in many "Peanuts" shows was arrested on charges that include stalking.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman Angelica de Cima said Peter Robbins was arrested Sunday at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. She told U-T San Diego that a background check yielded a warrant against Robbins from the San Diego County sheriff's department.
A sheriff's spokeswoman said she did not have details about the warrant.
The 56-year-old is set to be arraigned Wednesday on counts of making a threat to cause death or great bodily injury and of stalking. His manager has declined to comment.
Robbins was the voice of Charlie Brown for TV specials, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."

I never liked Charlie Brown. Thought he was creepy with that ridiculous round head and always wearing the same stupid shirt and shorts. And to think everyone complained about Pig-Pen! Once he reached puberty, it was everything you could to to stand anywhere near him - his body odor was so bad. And he never did grow any hair on that melon of a head. :-P
Aw, rats! *sigh*
I played Charlie Brown in high school. Hey, with all of his repressed anger, what do you expect?

When his parents were asked for comment, they said, "*wonk wonk woah wonk woah woah woah WOOOOoonnnah*."
Unreleased reports indicate that he was carrying a football under one arm and muttering "I'll show that b*tch".
 @Festivus Lmbo....thx!
