Robin Hood star Jonas Armstrong has been arrested proven to be drunk outside his mother's house.
The 29-year old actor, who played the outlaw in the BBC1 drama, was detained by police following a dispute with a taxi driver after a night out.
During the incident, Armstrong allegedly knocked on neighbours' doors in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, and shouted: 'It's me... Robin Hood.'
Armstrong was later charged under his full name William Jonas Armstrong with an offence of being drunk and disorderly and was ordered to face magistrates in Blackpool, Lancashire.

He was due before magistrates on Tuesday but did not turn up to officially answer the charge.
The actor instead sent a letter explaining he had an audition in London.
The incident occurred on April 26 after Armstrong had been out with friends in Blackpool.
Trouble began when he got a cab home to his mother's in nearby Lytham St Annes.
The case was adjourned to a date to be fixed. If convicted Armstrong faces a maximum £1,000 fine.
His spokesman said: 'The Crown Prosecution Service will be contacted.
'It is hoped that the matter can be dealt with without the need for it to go to court, perhaps by way of a caution.'
