Tom Wopat allegedly grabbed a woman's butt and put his finger between her butt cheeks, and that's why he was arrested for felony indecent assault.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Wopat was rehearsing his show, "42nd Street," at the Reagle Theatre in Waltham, MA on July 23 when a woman on the set claims he walked behind her and she felt his hand grab her butt. She also says she felt his fingers go between her butt cheeks.

There are 2 other incidents mentioned in the police report, both occurring during rehearsals. In one case a woman says he came up from behind her and wrapped his arm around her hip and lower waist, pulling her into him. In another instance a woman says he peeled sunburned skin off her arm.
When Wopat was arrested Wednesday, he told cops at the station he did not inappropriately touch anyone, but recalled a time he was seated and one of the women walked by him and he "lightly touched her hip" and said to her, "I like the way you work."
Wopat told cops he flirts and likes to be friendly, but never did anything untoward.
As for the drug charge, cops say when they booked Wopat they found a plastic bag containing what they believe was cocaine in his front pocket, along with a blue straw. Cops say they searched Wopat's vehicle and found baggies inside, one of which contained what they believe is also cocaine.
The police report also says one of the honchos in the show reprimanded Wopat for showing up to rehearsal under the influence.

O.T. Genasis is heaping so much praise on Cory Booker, you'd think the Senator was the coco ... and the show of love is all about the new push to federally legalize weed.
We filled in O.T. on the bill Booker introduced Tuesday -- the Marijuana Justice Act -- and he couldn't believe what he'd heard. He says the Senator might not realize it, but he could change the rap game forever if his bill goes through.
Not sure that was Booker's intent -- he seems more focused on safety, reducing violent crime and stuff -- but he should consider the rap thing a silver lining ... according to O.T., anyway.
We think Sen. Booker's getting a very special Christmas card this year.

Cops: Michael Irvin's Accuser Did Cocaine and MDMA ... Before Alleged Incident
The woman who accused Michael Irvin of rape tested positive for several drugs in her system after the alleged incident, including cocaine and ecstasy ... this according to prosecutors.
According to a State Attorney report on the case, obtained by TMZ Sports, the accuser took a toxicology test at a nearby hospital just a few hours after the alleged incident in the early hours of Wednesday, March 22. She told officials she did not take any drugs that night and believes something was put in her drink.
But the toxicology report came back showing the presence of amphetamine, MDMA, cocaine and alcohol in her blood. Her B.A.C. was a .10 despite the fact she had stopped drinking hours before.
The woman later admitted to investigators that she took a "small amount" of Xanax and ecstasy on the 19th and 20th -- and fessed up to doing cocaine over the weekend. Officials didn't believe her cocaine excuse because coke metabolizes "almost immediately" and would likely not show up if taken that long ago.
Either way, officials say they couldn't prove that Irvin provided any of the drugs to her.
There's more ... officials also did the blacklight test in Irvin's hotel room and did find some semen -- on the corner of a seat cushion. But they couldn't prove if it was Irvin's or someone who had previously stayed in the room. Gross.
Investigators also found video of the woman partying with Irvin earlier in the evening and even gyrating her hips around him near his hotel room.
Officials also say the woman underwent a vaginal swab after the alleged incident but there was no trace of Irvin's DNA.
Ultimately, prosecutors came to the following conclusion:
"The victim's inability to recall details, the inconsistent statements, her alcohol and drug use, coupled with the video evidence showing her voluntarily entering the hotel with the defendant and 2-and-a-half hours later exiting the hotel elevator with the defendant while not appearing upset, make this a case where there is not a reasonable likelihood of conviction."
