Actor Fred Willard did ‘nothing’ illegal, lawyer says

LOS ANGELES (MCT) — Fred Willard’s lawyer defended the actor’s actions Thursday afternoon after police arrested him on suspicion of engaging in a lewd act during a routine inspection of an adult theater in Hollywood.

“With all due respect to the individual officer, our belief (is) that Fred did nothing in any violation of any law. We will be working vigorously to clear his name in this matter,” said Willard’s lawyer Paul Takakjian in a statement to the Los Angeles Times.
