Instead, he was charged with two counts of criminal threats,
against the judge and a witness; one of attempted criminal
threat for allegedly offering $50,000 for the murder of Sheriff
Bill Gore, and one count of felony vandalism of his jail cell.
Robbins cried through the hearing, according to Deputy District
Attorney Brenda Daly.
"He has shown such a spectrum of emotions that I try not to pay
attention," Daly said.
Robbins' attorney, Jo Ellen Super, did not return calls seeking
comment on the new charges.
Robbins had pleaded guilty to charges of stalking and making
threats in May 2013, after harassing and threatening an
ex-girlfriend and the plastic surgeon who enhanced her breasts.
The judge had ordered him to spend eight months in residential
drug treatment and then serve five years on probation.
Robbins was re-arrested in February for probation violations
that included drinking alcohol and cutting off his GPS ankle
bracelet, prosecutors said. His behavior prompted a psychiatric
evaluation and, in August, he was found competent to be
sentenced.
He has been held without bail since February. On Friday, the
judge set bail on the new charges at $250,000.
Robbins was 9 years old in 1965 when he became the voice of the
world-weary yet optimistic title character of "A Charlie Brown
Christmas," a holiday classic marking its 50th anniversary and
the first of many animated TV specials based on the popular
"Peanuts" comic strip by Charles Schulz.
He went on to voice 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. He was replaced in
later versions of the specials.
