(CBS) HOLLYWOOD, Calif. A Chewbacca impersonator sexually assaulted a Marilyn Monroe impersonator in front of the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood in June. The wookie then evaded arrest, police said.

According to an officer with the LAPD, Chewbacca allegedly took the platinum-coiffed actress's hand and placed it on his private parts as the characters performed for tips from tourists.

The sidewalk in front of the Kodak Theater, which is part of the Hollywood at Highland complex, is often crowded with characters that pose for tourist cameras and tips. On occasion, police have been sent to the complex to separate feuding actors.

Earlier in the year, police arrested an actor in a Chewbacca costume after a tour guide told him to stop harassing a pair of Japanese tourists. Police are unsure if the same wookie is involved in today's assault.

The premiere of the new "Harry Potter" movie was under way during the alleged altercation, said Los Angeles police Sgt. David Torres.

Chewbacca, whose real name was not available, fled before police arrived, Torres said.

However, Torres is sure the hairy assailant would be caught soon.

"He's always there (at the theater)," he said.

I wonder if he yelled out the chewbacka yell while he did that

Who da man...?

That Chewbacca guy is a drunk. He's always getting in trouble and jeopardizing the ability of the fake characters to pester tourists for money.

Hell, I'm about five minutes away from putting on my Evel suit and going down there and shaking hands for dollars.

He did it for the wookie.

Lord Vader will not be pleased that the wookiee evaded arrest.

I would think the Chewbacca defense would be in play here.

I gotta hand it to you, GoChiefs, you finally got a chick to touch you down there.

And they said it couldn't be done.

Are the police looking for Chewbacca? Something tells me that may not hold up in court.

They picked up aGargantua by accident. held it for hours of questioning, but then decided it was not the hairy beast they were looking for.

They should call animal control the next time a wookie shows up and have him shot with a tranquilizer dart. Then they should drive him to Yosemite and release him while he is unconscious.

Wookies gone wild...

That's hawt.

LMAO

He was overheard saying "and I thought they smelled bad...on the outside"
