Actor Haley Joel Osment, known for his role in “The Sixth Sense,” was charged with being under the influence of alcohol in public and possession of cocaine after his arrest in California this month. The 37-year-old was arrested at Mammoth Mountain and is due in court on July 7, according to the Mono County District Attorney’s Office. It is not clear if Osment has an attorney representing him.
The district attorney’s statement did not provide details about the allegations, but TMZ reported that Osment was arrested at the Magic Mountain ski resort after ski patrol investigated a report of an intoxicated person. He is facing one count of disorderly conduct and one count of possession of cocaine.
Osment rose to fame as a child actor in the critically acclaimed film “The Sixth Sense” and has continued to work in the entertainment industry as an adult. This incident is a departure from his clean-cut image, and it remains to be seen how it will affect his career. Osment has not publicly commented on the charges.
Celebrity arrests for drug possession and public intoxication are unfortunately not uncommon, but they can have serious consequences for the individuals involved. It is important for those facing criminal charges to seek legal representation and navigate the legal process.
