While having Reggie do something that sketchy seems more true to the character (and it's worth noting that both Reggie and Moose's names were in the book, though both seemed to escape punishment), the real-world explanation was probably a case of the first Reggie actor being busy with his other gig (which is why he's been recast). I saw a great series on Youtube, where a discussion group discusses episodes after they air and for the one after episode 10, they actually brought in the actor who plays Chuck, who had some interesting insight that make Chuck more three-dimensional than he appears.

First, he said that while Chuck clearly is bitter towards Betty, he also said that he believed Chuck was sincere when he was apologizing to Ethel. He also suggested that Chuck could still grow and learn, perhaps getting into drawing,and becoming more like the Chuck in the comics.
