The Best in Show actor was caught touching his genitals by police in the Tiki adult movie theatre on Wednesday (July 18) during a routine check, reports TMZ.
Willard was apparently transferred to a local precinct, booked for lewd conduct and released shortly afterwards.
His spokesperson has not issued any comment on the matter.
Willard is perhaps best known for his work in the Christopher Guest mockumentaries Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind.
He got his first mainstream success in the popular 1970s series Fernwood 2 Night and has also appeared in Roxanne, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Anchorman.
Did Paul Reubens/Pee Wee Herman's conviction teach nobody anything? Dude is rich enough to own a laptop and smartphone, he could have sat in his own living room playing with himself in the comfort of his own home and avoided all of this.

A routine check at a porno theatre in case people are touching themselves? I'd be shocked if they found anyone who WASN'T touching themselves! I mean why else go?
Next stop for these intrepid police officers? A routine check of the local bars in case someone is having an alcoholic drink!

You're talking far too much sense there.

I hope The Sun goes with "Fred Wellhard" or "Fred Willihard" as a headline.
