Charlie Brown a stalker? Good grief!

Maybe he was just looking for that girl holding the football?

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 (http://bit.ly/USUNac) 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."

Maybe he really will need to sit down with a nickel at Lucy's counseling booth...

(Mandatory qualifier: No, I'm NOT making light of stalking, nor mental distress, nor any of the related issues, just my discomfort at this)

First there was the Elmo scandal and now this. I have just had my childhood fondness for Charlie Brown crushed.
