The Flash actor Ezra Miller has been charged with burglary after allegedly breaking into a Vermont home and stealing alcohol.
Residents filed a burglary complaint to Vermont police on 1 May, with police saying several bottles of alcohol went missing while homeowners had been away.
After reviewing on-site surveillance footage, investigators issued a warrant to charge Ezra Miller, but could not locate the actor for several months.
The actor was eventually located on Sunday evening (7 August), where they were issued an order to appear in Vermont Superior Court on the morning of 26 September.
It’s the latest in a long list of allegations made against Miller, who has in 2022 been arrested for disorderly conduct, hit with multiple restraining and protective orders and accused of grooming.
Ezra Miller allegations
The actor’s behaviour has faced scrutiny since April 2020, when footage emerged on Twitter showing them appearing to choke a fan before pushing her to the floor in a bar in Iceland.
According to the original tweet, which has since been removed after the account was suspended, the fan “jokingly challenged” Ezra Miller to a fight, who responded by physically pushing her to the ground.
Police did not investigate the matter and told the press that “no one was arrested or placed in custody regarding this”.
Miller was arrested in a Hawaii bar on 28 March, 2022, after they reportedly “began yelling obscenities” at other patrons.
They allegedly grabbed a microphone from a 23-year-old woman singing karaoke and “lunged at a 32-year-old man playing darts”, according to police.

In the same month, a Hawaiian couple filed a temporary restraining order against Miller after allegations that they “burst into the bedroom of the petitioner(s) and threatened” a man “saying ‘I will bury you and your s**t wife”
Miller had reportedly been staying with the couple after they paid $500 to bail them out of jail.
The couple later dropped the restraining order prior to a hearing, with their legal representative saying there would be no further comment on the matter, but that the couple no longer wanted to take legal action against the actor.
Another set of protective orders were issued against Fantastic Beasts actor over the course of June.
The first was over Miller’s alleged troubling behaviour over 18-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes – who was 12 when they met Miller for the first time – including allegations of using “violence, fear, and drugs” to manipulate the teen.
Parents Chase Iron Eyes and Sara Jumping Eagle filed paperwork to ask for a protective order on behalf of their child.
“Ezra uses violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions, and drugs to hold sway over a young adolescent Tokata,” court documents filed to Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Court on 7 June read. Officials were unable to locate Miller at the time to serve them with the order.
On 15 June, a mother and child were granted a temporary harassment protection order against Miller. The mother claimed that, during an altercation in which Miller accused the mother of cultural appropriation, the actor had brandished a gun and threatened that “talking like that could get you into a really serious situation.”
They later turned their attention to the child, who was 11 years of age at the time, saying that “they have a lot of power in them” and that “they would be lucky to have someone like me guide them”.
