Chewbacca strikes back

I do not know what's more pleasing than having a person impersonating star war's Chewbacca head-butting a tour guide in Hollywood. Apparently, this person impersonating Chewbacca was arrested for the head-butting. For me this is interesting considering the 2006 World Cup where Zinedine Zidane head-butted one of the Italian players (which of course I wanted Italy to win...and they did), and he wasn't charged with anything.
Frederick Evan Young, 44, of Los Angeles was booked Thursday for investigation of misdemeanor battery, police Lt. Paul Vernon said. Police said the performer was seen arguing Thursday afternoon with a tour guide who had expressed concern the Star Wars wookie impersonator was "harassing and touching tourists" in violation of city law. The city passed ordinances last year seeking to crack down on the colorful assortment of actors who perform outside the landmark theater. The move was prompted by complaints from tourists who said the actors were aggressive and abusive if they refused to pay for pictures.
Security guards escorted Young off theater property, but he decided to strike back and head-butted the tour guide, Vernon said. (Get ready to laugh) "The lesson here is you can have the force with you," Vernon said. "You just can't use illegal force."

Maybe it's just me, but I don't believe the "force" has anything to do with head-butting idiots.
