Willard was arrested and charged with lewd behavior last night when police discovered him masturbating in an adult movie theater. How dare he? There could have been children there (that snuck in on one another’s shoulders while wearing a long trenchcoat)!

Give us the details TMZ and keep it classy and well-punctuated:

Fred Willard was arrested for lewd conduct last night in Hollywood when police allegedly caught him with his pants down in an adult movie theater … TMZ has learned.According to law enforcement sources, LAPD undercover vice officers went into the Tiki Theater in Hollywood and found the 78-year-old Anchorman star watching last night’s feature … with his penis exposed and in his hand. We‘re told Willard was arrested around 8:45PM and booked for lewd conduct.It was a quick release — we’re told he was out of police custody a short while later.As for which movie Fred was watching — there are 3 flicks in rotation at the theater … Follow Me 2, a XXX parody of The Client List, and Step Dad No. 2. Willard is best known for his memorable roles in Best in Show, For Your Consideration, American Wedding and Everybody Loves Raymond. According to IMDB, Fred is “rumored” to be in pre-production for a movie entitled … The Yank. It’s a comedy.7:06 AM PT — Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the LAPD vice officers were not conducting a raid … but rather a “random walk-through” of the premises. We’re told … when theaters like this get their license, they have to allow cops in whenever they want … to inspect. In fact, the theater has a sign posted in the front which warns customers that the theater is “viewed by LAPD.”The theater also warns, “No Alcohol, No Weapons, No smoking inside” … and no pets. The signs do not warn about flogging the dolphin.

It’s like they weren’t even listening to me.

In honor of her efforts (he pointless, pointless efforts), here are seven other celebrities who got arrested for having “feelings” and “believing” in things.

Woody Harrelson

Go ahead and guess why Woody Harrelson was arrested. If your guess wasn’t hemp-related, you don’t know Woody (I would have also accepted photographer-punching). Harrelson was arrested on drug charges when he planted hemp seeds in Kentucky, protesting a state drug law that makes no distinction between marijuana and hemp, even though hemp contains very little of the psychoactive chemical found in marijuana and can be used to make a variety of industrial products. He was later acquitted, and probably celebrated after picking up some bleezies.

Hayden Panettiere

As shown in the documentary The Cove, Hayden Panettiere has a warrant out for her arrest in Japan for protesting the annual slaughter of dolphins in Taiji. Luckily, she left the country before police could arrest her. Do you know what they do to hot, young women in Japanese prisons? I don’t. But I bet that would make a really good documentary.

Martin Sheen

Martin Sheen is incredibly politically active and has been arrested 66 times for various protests. He’s got some catching up to do, but we know that Charlie is up to the challenge.
