Overview

  • Osment was arrested on April 8 at a Mammoth Lakes ski lodge on charges of public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance.
  • A Mono County judge arraigned him on June 2 and approved a one-year diversion despite the district attorney’s objections over his prior DUI and use of an antisemitic slur.
  • Under the diversion, he must attend at least three Alcoholics Anonymous meetings per week and meet with a therapist twice weekly for six months.
  • Osment issued a public apology for the racial slur, attributing his behavior to emotional distress after losing his home in the Eaton Fire.
  • He will return to court on January 5, 2026, for a compliance review that will decide if the charges are dismissed.
