The actor whose voice brings Bugs Bunny to life has been arrested at his Los Angeles home after a stand-off with police.
Greg Burson, who also voices Daffy Duck and Yogi Bear, barricaded himself inside the property for six hours.
The siege began when two women called police to say Burson was holding another woman against her will. Armed Special Weapons and Tactics teams surrounded the house but Burson had already barricaded himself in, says The Sun.
He surrendered after hours of negotiation. Police later found guns in his house.
One officer said: 'He was so drunk we couldn't tell if he was trying to do one of his voices or was just slurring his words.'
An LAPD spokesman said the three women, who were unharmed, were room-mates of Burson's.
Burson has spent the past 15 years as the voice of the cartoon rabbit after taking over took over from the legendary Mel Blanc when he died in 1989.
Burson was released on bail."
