Actor Haley Joel Osment’s recent excursion to a California ski destination included more than just white slopes: a run-in with laws officials and his imprisonment were also in business.
The 37-year-old “Blink Thrice” and “The Sixth Sense” sun was arrested April 8 on fear of public drunkenness and ownership of an unnamed controlled substance in Mammoth Lakes, according to People and TMZ.
Sergeant. Jason Heilman of the Mammoth Lakes Police Department confirmed to People that the former child star, the brother of “Young Sheldon ” actor Emily Osment, was booked and “is no longer in custody. ” Law police received a phone about an allegedly intoxicated person at the famous Mammoth Mountain mountain resort, according to TMZ, which initially reported the arrest on Wednesday. Snow patrollers were with Osment when officers arrived to the beach, the site said.
A rep for the Mammoth Lakes Police Department did not immediately respond to The Times ’ ask for assurance Thursday. The Times even did not immediately hear again from reps for Osment.
Material, finest known for his haunting performance in M. Night Shyamalan’s “Sixth Sense, ” first faced legal troubles in 2006 when he was charged with criminal drunken driving after crashing his auto in La Cañada Flintridge. More than a decade after, Osment sparked a policeman comment in 2018 for supposedly making verbal risks to American Airlines workers in the Las Vegas aircraft after missing his journey. Police received a call about the “unruly passenger ” but did not make contact with the “Poker Face ” actor.
Earlier this year, Osment was among the hundreds of Angelenos who lost their homes in the devastating wildfires that destroyed pieces of Southern California in January. Emily Osment said in a January Instagram post that their kids even lost their home in the Eaton flames.
Amid the January fire, Haley Joel Osment wrote in a since-expired Instagram story: “My center would be so full every day I drove home – it was for a particular area — I loved living there — our woodland and our hills and our homes — all gone. ”
