Law enforcement made the arrest after pulling him over in his Ford Bronco.

Wopat is in Massachusetts to star in a stage production of 42nd Street. The 65-year-old is accused of putting his hands down the pants of a woman who is involved with the play, TMZ reported.

On Thursday, Wopat's Twitter account, in a now deleted post, made no mention of the arrest and instead promoted the opening night of 42nd Street.

A representative for Wopat has yet to comment on the arrest. He was previously charged with driving under the influence and reckless driving in 2006.
