As per Reuters, Peter Robbins, the actor who once gave voice to beloved cartoon character Charlie Brown, pled guilty to making threats against a mobile home park manager and a Southern California sheriff.

Robbins was nine-years-old in 1965 when he became the voice of the world-weary yet optimistic title character of “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” the first of many animated TV specials based on the popular “Peanuts” comic strip by Charles Schulz.

He voiced Charlie Brown in “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” “A Boy Named Charlie Brown,” and other “Peanuts” animated specials that aired in the 1960s.
