A former child actor who was the voice of Charlie Brown in beloved Peanuts TV specials has pleaded guilty to making criminal threats.
Fifty-nine-year-old Peter Robbins of Oceanside entered pleas on Tuesday. He’s facing four years and eight months in prison.
Authorities say Robbins threatened to harm a mobile home park manager and San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore, offering $50,000 (Dh183,657) to have Gore killed.
Robbins said the threats stem from his bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia.
Two years ago, Robbins pleaded guilty to threatening a former girlfriend and her plastic surgeon.
From age nine to 13, Robbins was the voice of Charlie Brown in a series of 1960s animated classics, including A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
