Mitchel Musso, the former Disney star who played Oliver Oken on Hannah Montana, was arrested in Texas on Saturday on charges of public intoxication and theft after allegedly stealing a bag of chips from a hotel. The 32-year-old actor spent the night in jail before posting bail on Sunday.
According to TMZ, Musso walked into a hotel in Rockwall, Texas, around 7:15 p.m. and grabbed a bag of chips from a snack shop without paying. When the hotel staff confronted him and asked him to pay, he reportedly became verbally abusive and refused to cooperate. The staff then called the police, who arrived at the scene and found Musso outside the hotel.
The police said that Musso appeared intoxicated and showed signs of impairment. They also discovered that he had several outstanding traffic warrants, including expired car registration, failure to display a driver’s license, and violating a “promise to appear” notice. He was arrested and charged with public intoxication and theft under $100, which are both misdemeanors.
Musso was taken to the Rockwall County Detention Center, where he was booked and held overnight. He was released on Sunday afternoon after posting a $1,000 bond. His mugshot shows him looking unhappy with a towel over his chest.
Musso is best known for his role as Oliver Oken on Hannah Montana, the popular Disney show that starred Miley Cyrus as a teenage pop star living a double life. He appeared in almost 90 episodes of the show from 2006 to 2011. He also starred in other Disney shows such as Pair of Kings and Phineas and Ferb.
This is not the first time that Musso has been in trouble with the law. In 2011, he was arrested for driving under the influence in Burbank, California. He was sentenced to 36 months of informal probation, fined, and required to attend alcohol education classes.
Musso has not commented on his latest arrest yet. His fans have expressed their shock and disappointment on social media, while some have also shown their support and sympathy for him. Some have also made jokes and memes about his arrest, comparing him to other former Disney stars who have had legal issues or scandals.
Mitchel Musso is one of the latest celebrities who have been arrested for public intoxication and theft in Texas. In July, country singer Morgan Wallen was arrested for similar charges after he allegedly kicked glass items at Kid Rock’s bar in Nashville. In June, rapper DaBaby was arrested for battery after he allegedly punched a rental car employee in Miami.
Public intoxication and theft are common offenses that can result in fines, jail time, probation, community service, or counseling, depending on the severity of the case and the criminal history of the offender. They can also damage the reputation and career of the offender, especially if they are famous or influential.
Mitchel Musso’s arrest has raised questions about his personal life and his future projects. He has not been very active in the entertainment industry lately, although he has been working on some music projects with his brother Mason Musso, who is also a singer and songwriter. He has also been involved in some charity work and environmental causes.
It is unclear what motivated Musso to steal a bag of chips from a hotel or how he ended up being intoxicated in public. It is possible that he was going through some personal or professional problems or that he was under the influence of some substances. It is also possible that he was just having a bad day or that he made a mistake.
