Ezra Miller has been arrested for disorderly conduct and harassment after an alleged incident in a Hawaii bar on Sunday evening.
Known for playing DC superhero the Flash and recurring roles in the Harry Potter spin-off series Fantastic Beasts, the 29-year-old actor was arrested in Hilo on Monday morning.
South Hilo police responded to reports of a disorderly bar patron just before midnight on Sunday, according to a public statement. According to police, Miller became “agitated” at other patrons singing karaoke. Miller started shouting obscenities.
According to police, the actor grabbed the microphone from a 23-year-old woman singing karaoke and lunged at the 32-year-old man playing darts. Miller was repeatedly asked to calm down by the bar owner.
Miller featured briefly in the Academy Awards on Sunday, with a pivotal scene of the Flash in Zack Snyder’s Justice League winning the “most cheer-worthy moment” category, a new award introduced by the Academy that is voted for by audiences at home.
Miller was released on bail on Monday, police said. Miller’s representatives have not yet responded to requests for comment.
In April, Miller will appear in the next Fantastic Beasts film, The Secrets of Dumbledore. The Flash, which will see their super fast superhero take the leading role and recently finished production, has been delayed by Warner Brothers until 2023.
