BOTH main CHiPs actors have been in trubble for fraud.
In 2010, Larry Wilcox (blonde guy) was CONvicted of CONspiracy to commit securities fraud.
Eric Estrada (the dark haired guy) was doing TV promos of a blatant real estate fraud (California Pines) that was selling scrub land in the middle of nowhere - quite possibly the worst land in the USA other than the Badlands or the Blackrock desert (just east of the crap land Eric was pumping). https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/erik-estrada-real-estate-scam.48689/
