The Sixth Sense star Haley Joel Osment was arrested on April 8
Haley Joel Osment was recently arrested at a ski resort.
Osment, best known for starring in films like The Sixth Sense, Pay it Forward, Forrest Gump and, most recently, Blink Twice, was at a ski lodge in Mammoth Lakes, California, when he was taken into custody by local law enforcement on April 8.
He has since been charged with two misdemeanors, the Office of the District Attorney County of Mono announced yesterday (April 17).
It said in a statement: “District Attorney David Anderson announced that Haley Joel Osment, 37, was charged today with two misdemeanors arising from his arrest by the Mammoth Lakes Police Department at Mammoth Mountain on April 8, 2025.
“Specifically, Mr. Osment was charged with a violation of Penal Code Section 647(f) – Disorderly Conduct: Under the Influence of Alcohol in Public, and Health and Safety Code Section 11350(a) – Possession of Cocaine.”

The actor is due to be arraigned on July 7 of this year at the Mammoth Lakes branch of the Mono County Superior Court.
Bodycam footage taken on the day of Osment’s arrest has since been released, showing officers telling the 37-year-old he was under arrest for public intoxication.
“I’m not fighting you,” Osment said as he was ushered towards the police car.
Officers then found a $20 bill with a substance inside it. A police source previously told PEOPLE the ‘controlled substance’ Osment was arrested for ‘is presumed to be cocaine’.
“We sent it for testing. We will have the results soon,” they added.
Fast forward to footage taken when Osment was in the back of the police car and being taken to the station, he said he was being ‘kidnapped by a f**king Nazi’ – a slur he’s since apologized for.
In a statement issued to PEOPLE, the actor said the language that he used was ‘disgraceful’.
“I’m absolutely horrified by my behavior,” Osment said. “Had I known I used this disgraceful language in the throes of a blackout, I would have spoken up sooner.”
He added: “The past few months of loss and displacement have broken me down to a very low emotional place.”

Osment lost his home in the wildfires that ravaged parts of California at the beginning of the year, alongside dozens of other celebrities.
“But that’s no excuse for using this disgusting word,” he went on. “From the bottom of my heart, I apologize to absolutely everyone that this hurts. What came out of my mouth was nonsensical garbage – I’ve let the Jewish community down and it devastates me.
“I don’t ask for anyone’s forgiveness, but I promise to atone for my terrible mistake.”
