Fred Willard: I did nothing wrong

Los Angeles - Fred Willard says he's embarrassed by his recent arrest at an adult movie theatre but insists he did nothing wrong.

Willard was a guest on Thursday on Jimmy Fallon's late-night show, where he and Fallon cracked jokes about Willard's lewd conduct arrest. Then Willard turned serious.

The 72-year-old actor said "everything is being sorted out" about the incident and that it was a matter of being "in the wrong place at the wrong time".

Willard, whose films include Best in Show, was arrested on 18 July for investigation of committing a lewd act. He was taken into custody by police doing a routine check at a Hollywood adult theatre.

The Los Angeles City Attorney's office determined that Willard's case was eligible for a diversion programme that could prevent formal charges against him.
