Haley Joel Osment was involved in an argument with staff at the Mammoth Mountain resort in California shortly before his arrest earlier this month.
Video obtained by TMZ shows Osment, 37, prepared to board a chairlift despite not having his snowboard with him. As a staff member pleads with him to get out of line, onlookers can be heard seeming to grow frustrated with the delay. One even pleaded for security to step in.
A witness told TMZ that one guest tried to tug on him, encouraging him to get out of line, leading to both falling over.
When the staffer told Osment that security was on its way, the Sixth Sense actor finally relented and exited the line. Another bystander alleged to the outlet that Osment “absolutely reeked of alcohol” and that after leaving the line, he walked over to his snowboard and appeared to “fumble around with it.”
Osment was arrested on April 8 after police received a call around 2 p.m. local time regarding an allegedly intoxicated individual at the resort. He was charged with public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance. The unknown substance was sent to the lab for testing, per TMZ.
He stayed in jail overnight before being released. Us Weekly has reached out to Osment for comment.
This isn’t Osment’s first run-in with law enforcement. The actor was arrested in 2006 for driving under the influence after an automobile accident. He pleaded no contest to a DUI and one count of marijuana possession. Osment was sentenced to three years probation and fined $1,500. He was also required to seek treatment for alcohol use.
His most recent arrest comes three months after he lost his home in the Los Angeles wildfires. Osment told Us Weekly exclusively that he is now living with his sister, actress Emily Osment.
Amazon MGM/YouTube Haley Joel Osment credits past projects such as The Sixth Sense for helping prepare him for films with surprising revelations — such as his upcoming movie Blink Twice. “It’s not too difficult for me [not to give major plot points away]. I do get paranoid because I enjoy talking about this stuff that […]
“Because I lost my house in the fires, I’ve been living with her for the past a couple months,” he told Us in a story published April 2. “So she’s been very generous and helping me out there. She’s fantastic.”
He spoke glowingly of life with Emily, 33, who is currently starring in Young Sheldon spinoff Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.
“She’s great. Her show is just wrapping up season 1 right now,” he said. “Great community of people there.”
Though Haley and Emily have yet to work together on a project, they’ve stayed close, even before the older brother moved in. The two were spotted celebrating Emily’s 33rd birthday in March, grabbing lunch together in Studio City.
Emily had finalized her divorce from ex-husband Jack Anthony just two days before.
