Ezra Miller Has Been Charged With Felony Burglary in Vermont
Ezra Miller, who is still set to lead the Warner Bros. film The Flash, has been charged with felony burglary in Vermont, according to a police report. The filing states that the 29-year-old was charged for allegedly stealing bottles of alcohol from an unoccupied Stamford, Vermont, residence back in May. The Vermont State Police was notified of a burglary complaint on May 1, with residents on County Road in Stamford reporting that “several bottles of alcohol were taken from within the residence while the homeowners were not present.” After an investigation that included surveillance footage and statements, police found probable cause to charge Miller with felony burglary into an unoccupied dwelling. Miller wasn’t located by police until August 7, when they were issued a citation to appear in Vermont Superior Court on September 26 for arraignment. (Vanity Fair has reached out to a lawyer for Miller for comment.) The embattled actor has faced a number of allegations and controversies as of late. Miller was arrested twice in Hawaii earlier this year—in March on charges of disorderly conduct and harassment, and in April on an allegation of second-degree assault. The disorderly conduct charge resulted in a no contest plea from Miller, who was later released and fined $500. Two other charges, obstruction of a public sidewalk and harassment, were dropped. The actor was not charged in the second-degree assault investigation. Two women have accused Miller of abuse, and last week an Insider exposé centered on two separate accounts from parents who allege that Miller groomed their children or acted inappropriately with them, with all having obtained temporary protective orders against the actor. As for Miller’s alleged activities in Vermont, a June Rolling Stone investigation stated that they have been housing a 25-year-old mother and her three young children at their property. Sources with knowledge of the situation alleged that Miller’s 96-acre compound has been “an unsafe environment for children” where “unattended guns” are scattered around the home on the premises. Representatives for Miller did not respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment or V.F.’s request regarding the Insider piece. Despite the many storms Miller has weathered in recent months, Warner Bros. is still banking on them to lead one of its superhero films. On a call with investors just last week, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said, “We have seen The Flash, Black Adam, and Shazam 2. We are very excited about them.” The Flash is scheduled to hit theaters on June 23, 2023. Ezra Miller, star of 'The Flash,' charged with felony burglary in Vermont By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer Actor Ezra Miller has been charged with felony burglary in Stamford, Vermont, the latest in a string of incidents involving the embattled star of "The Flash." In a report Monday, Vermont State Police said they responded to a burglary complaint in Stamford on May 1 and found several bottles of alcohol were taken from a residence while the homeowners weren't present. Miller was charged after police consulted surveillance footage and interviewed witnesses. The police report said Miller was located shortly before midnight Sunday and was issued a citation to appear for arraignment in Vermont Superior Court on Sept. 26. The felony charge adds to Miller's mounting legal woes and reports of erratic behavior. The 29-year-old actor was arrested twice earlier this year in Hawaii, including for disorderly conduct and harassment at a karaoke bar. The second incident was for second-degree assault. The parents of 18-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes, a Native American activist, also earlier this year filed a protection order against Miller, accusing the actor of grooming their child and other inappropriate behavior with her as a minor from the age of 12. Tokata Iron Eyes recently told Insider that those allegations were false. Attorneys for Miller didn't immediately respond to requests for comment on the Vermont felony charge or the protection order related to Tokata Iron Eyes. After appearing in several films for Warner Bros. and D.C. Films as the Flash, Miller stars in the upcoming standalone film "The Flash," due out in June 2023. Though Warner Bros. last week axed the nearly completed "Batgirl" film, the studio has suggested it remains committed to releasing "The Flash." In an earnings report last week, David Zaslav, chief executive of Warner Bros. Discovery referenced "The Flash." "We have seen 'The Flash,' 'Black Adam' and 'Shazam 2. We are very excited about them," said Zaslav. "We think they are terrific, and we think we can make them even better." Representatives for Warner Bros. didn't respond to messages Monday. 'The Flash' Actor Ezra Miller Is Now Facing Felony Burglary Charges ezra-miller-the-flash-actor-felony-burglary-charges-vermont-arrested.jpg (CNN) -- The Flash actor Ezra M. Miller is accused of stealing alcohol in May from a Vermont home while the owners were away, according to state law enforcement. Vermont State Police found probable cause to charge the actor with felony burglary into an unoccupied dwelling in the town of Stamford, according to a news release from police. After being alerted to a possible burglary on May 1, police found that several bottles of alcohol had been taken from the residence, the release said. Surveillance footage and statements gave police probable cause to charge Miller, according to the release, but it gave no details. The actor, who previously appeared as The Flash in multiple DC superhero films, was issued a citation on Sunday, according to state police spokesperson Adam Silverman. Miller is ordered to appear in Vermont Superior Court on September 26 for an arraignment on the burglary charge, the release said. CNN reached out to Miller's representatives for comment but has not heard back. The actor is starring in an upcoming The Flash film, which is a DC Films production. DC Films is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, which is also CNN's parent company. In March, Miller was arrested in Hilo, Hawaii, and charged with disorderly conduct and harassment following an incident in a bar, according to police. On April 19, the actor pleaded no contest and was fined $500 for the disorderly conduct charge, a court record shows. The harassment charge was dismissed. Correction: An earlier version of this story gave the wrong name of the company behind "The Flash." It is a DC Films production.
