Bell was arrested on December 21, 2015, for driving under the influence in Glendale, California at 2:45 AM after police officers witnessed him swerving and driving well over the speed limit.

He was subsequently released on a $20,000 bond and pleaded not guilty. In September 2016, Bell pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four days in jail and four years’ probation and would be required to attend an alcohol education program; Bell served only one day for good behavior.

Bell was previously charged with driving under the influence in 2010 in relation to an incident in San Diego in 2009.

On June 4, 2021, Bell was arrested in Cleveland, Ohio, on charges relating to “attempted endangering [of] children and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.

A public information officer with the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office said “the 15-year-old victim, who had established a relationship with Bell several years prior, attended his concert in December 2017.

While there, Bell violated his duty of care and, in doing so, created a risk of harm to the victim.” The Cleveland Police also found that Bell had sent the minor “inappropriate social media messages” for “months leading up to the concert.”

Bell was 31 at the time of the alleged incident. Bell pleaded not guilty, was freed on a $2,500 personal bond, and was ordered to provide a DNA sample.

He agreed to have no contact with the accuser in the case with a pretrial hearing scheduled for June 23. On June 23, Bell pleaded guilty to both charges.

On July 12, 2021, Bell’s accuser, then 19, made a public appearance and statement accusing him of sexually assaulting her while she was underage, in addition to the endangerment charges.

Bell was sentenced to two years of probation and 200 hours of community service (which he may complete in California). He also is not allowed to have any contact with his victim.
