Chewbacca strikes back; performer accused of battery
POSTED: 6:20 p.m. EST, February 3, 2007

LOS ANGELES, California (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, California, 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 that the Star
Wars
wookiee impersonator was "harassing and touching tourists" in
violation of
city law.

'You can't tell this wookiee what to do'
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 wookiee what to do,"' Sapir said.
