Flash star, Ezra Miller, was arrested for disorderly conduct and harassment, including filming people at a gas station, refusing to leave the sidewalk area of a restaurant, and arguing with people.

One more severe incident involved a couple who let Miller stay with them at a hostel. According reports, the couple filed a petition to take out a temporary restraining order on the actor after Miller had allegedly burst into their bedroom, threatened them, and stole some of their belongings, including a passport and wallet.
In another incident, Miller, 29, was at a bar on Silva Street in Hilo when the actor “became agitated while patrons at the bar began singing karaoke.”
“Miller began yelling obscenities and at one point grabbed the microphone from a 23-year-old woman singing karaoke,” which amounted to the disorderly conduct offense, per authorities.
Later, the actor (who uses they/them pronouns) “lunged at a 32-year-old man playing darts,” which earned them a harassment offense.

Miller was arrested by South Hilo patrol officers and charged for both offenses. They were released after posting $500 bail. EW reached out to representatives for Miller. Warner Bros. had no comment.
The incident harkens back to a 2020 altercation at the bar Prikið Kaffihús in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Video surfaced online that April of Miller appearing to grab a woman by the throat and throwing her to the ground at the establishment. Variety reported at the time that Miller had been escorted off the premises in the aftermath.
Miller plays the key role of Credence, a.k.a. Aurelius Dumbledore, in the Fantastic Beasts sequel The Secrets of Dumbledore, which is scheduled to hit theaters this April 15.
The studio has already had to navigate multiple controversies with that film, including backlash over Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling’s comments on trans people and the decision to replace Johnny Depp with Mads Mikkelsen in the role of Gellert Grindelwald.
