And you thought the fake movie characters in front of the Chinese Theater were harmless?
The Times reports:
A street performer dressed as Chewbacca from "Star Wars" apparently succumbed to the dark side when he allegedly head-butted a tour guide operator in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles police said today.[...]
"You could see him exploding in his mask," Sapir said. "He said, 'Nobody tells this wookie what to do."
6'4" Frederick Evan Young then ripped off his Chewie mask and headbutted Star Line Tour guide, Brian Sapir.
He's been released on $20,000 bail, which means there's one more disgruntled, out of work Chewbacca roaming the streets. Use the force.
