Mitchel Musso, known for his role as Oliver Oken on the popular Disney Channel show “Hannah Montana”, found himself in legal trouble over the weekend as he was arrested in Rockwall, Texas. The arrest reportedly stemmed from an incident at a hotel where Musso was accused of acting belligerently and allegedly stealing an item from a food market.
According to the Rockwall Police Department, officers responded to a call for service at a local hotel where witnesses claimed that Musso had been behaving aggressively and had taken a snack item without paying for it. When confronted by staff, he allegedly responded with verbal abuse and left the scene.
Upon arrival, law enforcement found Musso outside the hotel and determined that he appeared to be under the influence. The situation escalated when police discovered several outstanding traffic warrants in his name. As a result, he was arrested and taken into custody.
The charges Musso is facing include public intoxication, theft (under $100), expired registration, failure to display a driver’s license, and violating a promise to appear notice. He was later released on a $1,000 bond. A mug shot taken during his time in custody captured his somber demeanor.
During his time at Disney Channel from the mid-2000s to the mid-2010s, Musso enjoyed a successful career. Apart from his role on “Hannah Montana,” he also starred in other well-received shows like “Phineas and Ferb,” “Pair of Kings,” and “PrankStars.”
This incident serves as a reminder of the challenges that former child stars often face while navigating adulthood. Musso’s arrest highlights the importance of maintaining a positive image and behavior, particularly in the public eye, as former child actors transition to more mature roles and responsibilities.
