Peter Robins, Charlie Brown Actor, Guilty For Numerous Threats? To Spend 5 Years In Jail?
Petter Robins, who voiced Charlie Brown in "Peanuts," was covicted to almost five years in prison after being found guilty for threats, according to sources.
The 59- year-old voice actor has plead guilty for criminal threats that involved Sheriff William Gore. Robbins admitted in San Diego courtroom that he contracted a person to kill Gore. Another case is for threatening a Laguna Vista mobile home park's manager in Oceanside, where he also lived.
Petter Robins said on his defense in September, "I'm mentally ill," according to Us Weekly.
"I've committed no crime," he added.
Charlie Brown's voice actor was previously diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In 2013, he was also guilty for threat charges from his ex-girlfriend and her plastic surgeon.
Atty. Joey Super withdrew the request to appeal on his behalf, which was denied by the judge. He was sentenced to four years and eight months stay in prison by Los Angeles Superior Court judge William Chidsey Jr., who handled his case, according to CBS News.
Petter Robins was behind Charlie Brown's voice since he was at the age of nine until 13 for televisions specials such as "It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "A Boy Named Charlie Brown."
The former child star went out from the spotlight and was reported violating the law, which started in January of 2013. In the same year, he was caught at the U.S Mexico border for stalking his ex-girlfriend and later entered a drug treatment rehabilitation.
He was also previously given five years of probation from prison but was sent back after violating its rules when he was released. He had been jailed since January of 2013 and made an uproar inside the courtroom shouting at the judge, "I hope you drop dead of a heart attack."
As for Petter Robins' threatened victim and Laguna Vista Mobile Home Park manager, Patrick Brophy said, "Personally, I think he should have got a lot more time but it is what it is," reported by The News Journal.
"We're satisfied it's all over," the statement continued.
