No, not Luke Duke! 'Dukes of Hazzard' star denies grabbing colleague's buttocks

WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) — The actor who played Luke Duke on the 1980s television show "The Dukes of Hazzard" pleaded not guilty on Thursday to grabbing the buttocks of a female member of the cast of a musical he was supposed to appear in.

Tom Wopat was released on $1,000 bail and was told to stay away from the woman after denying indecent assault and battery and drug possession charges. He refused to comment outside court before driving away.

Wopat, who's from New York, inappropriately touched the woman on July 23, prosecutors alleged.

"During a rehearsal the defendant allegedly walked behind a female cast member, grabbing her buttocks," they said in an emailed statement.
