"Nobody tells this wookie what to do" -- the offending alien
Chewie arrested for head-butting tour guide, no arms ripped from sockets
LOS ANGELES (AP) A man dressed as Chewbacca was arrested after police said
the street performer head-butted a tour guide operator in front of Grauman's
Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
Frederick Evan Young, 44, of Los Angeles was booked Thursday for investigation
of misdemeanor battery, police Lt. Paul Vernon said.
Police said the 6-foot-4 street performer was seen arguing Thursday afternoon
with a tour guide who had expressed concern the Star Wars wookie impersonator
was "harassing and touching tourists" in violation of city law.
The city passed ordinances last year seeking to crack down on the colorful
assortment of actors who perform outside the landmark theater. The move was
prompted by complaints from tourists who said the actors were aggressive and
abusive if they refused to pay for pictures.
Security guards escorted Young off theater property, but he decided to strike
back and head-butted the tour guide, Vernon said.
"The lesson here is you can have the force with you," Vernon said. "You just
can't use illegal force."
Young could not be reached for comment. His telephone number was unlisted.
The tour guide, Brian Sapir, told the Los Angeles Times that he asked the
Chewbacca impersonator to stop harassing two young Japanese tourists when the
actor exploded in anger.
"He said, 'Nobody tells this wookie what to do,"' Sapir said.
