Overview

  • Haley Joel Osment was arrested on April 8 at Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort for public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance, now presumed to be cocaine pending lab results.
  • Bodycam footage released on April 17 shows Osment using antisemitic slurs and calling an officer a 'Nazi' during his arrest, leading to widespread condemnation.
  • The Mono County District Attorney has formally charged Osment with disorderly conduct and cocaine possession, both misdemeanors, with arraignment scheduled for July 7.
  • In a public apology on April 18, Osment expressed remorse for his behavior, attributing it to emotional distress after losing his home in January's Eaton Fire and subsequent struggles with his insurance claim.
  • This marks Osment's second substance-related arrest, following a 2006 DUI conviction, and he has pledged to atone for his actions while cooperating with legal proceedings.
