Bugs Bunny actor arrested after standoff

LOS ANGELES, May 13 (UPI) -- The actor who voices Bugs Bunny and other classic cartoon characters was arrested after he barricaded himself inside his Los Angeles home.

Police were called to the home of Greg Burson by two women who claimed the 54-year-old voice actor was holding his roommate against her will, World Entertainment News Network reported Thursday.

An inebriated Burson, who also provides the voices for Daffy Duck and Yogi Bear, surrendered to police after a six-hour standoff and hours of negotiations.

"He was so drunk we couldn't tell if he was trying to do one of his voices or was just slurring his words," one police officer said.

Authorities later found a collection of guns in Burson's home.

The three women involved in the incident, none of whom were harmed, were Burson's roommates.
