From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Paul Reubens, also known as Pee-wee Herman, tried to avoid arrest on indecent exposure charges in Sarasota, Fla., by offering to perform a children’s benefit for the local sheriff’s office, a police report said. Reubens’ attorney made the same offer to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune if the newspaper agreed not to publish a story on the arrest, the newspaper’s editor said. The newspaper refused. Reubens, 38, was arrested July 26 on charges of exposing himself at an adult theater. He has denied wrongdoing.
