Peter Robbins, who as a child actor voiced lovable ol’ Charlie Brown in A Charlie Brown Christmas, has been arrested at the Mexican border and charged with stalking his ex-girlfriend and making criminal threats against a La Jolla plastic surgeon.
[The] four counts of threatening death and one stalking charge involve four victims, including a San Diego Police sergeant. Robbins allegedly threatened the officer with bodily harm during a January 13 incident.
Good grief, yes.
Peter Robbins voiced Charlie Brown in eight different Peanuts TV shows and films from 1965-69, including It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and You’re In Love, Charlie Brown.

As recently as January 13th — the very same day he threatened the police sergeant with bodily harm — he was asking Facebook friends for good recipe ideas. And back on January 8th…
Ahem. Not to pile on, but it may be time for a trip to Lucy’s 5¢ psychiatric stand.
The arrest itself was pure Charlie Brown:
Border Patrol agents arrested Robbins late Sunday as he entered the United States from Mexico at the San Ysidro, California, port of entry… A computer check of his passport revealed that Robbins, who was driving into the country alone in a 2006 Mercedes, was wanted in San Diego on a felony warrant.
Robbins acknowledged to police that he is the same Peter Robbins who was the child actor.

Hard-luck Peter Robbins himself may have put it best in still another Facebook post a few weeks back:
