Overview

  • LAPD officers encountered the 26-year-old on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City in the early morning, wearing only underwear and cowboy boots, according to officials.
  • Video published by TMZ showed him acting erratically, including placing an orange traffic cone on his head and speaking about a party.
  • Paramedics suspected a drug overdose and took him to a hospital for evaluation before he was cleared and transferred to Valley Jail in Van Nuys.
  • He was booked on suspicion of obstructing an officer, a misdemeanor, and authorities have not confirmed whether formal charges will follow.
  • His representatives have not responded to requests for comment, and his condition was not disclosed; the episode comes months after an April hospitalization for temporary facial paralysis.
