Haley Joel Sees DUI Charges
Well, so much for sense, the sixth or any other kind.
Despite the sheriff's department's original report that there was no indication of drugs or alcohol being involved when Haley Joel Osment crashed his car into a pillar July 20, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office filed three DUI-related charges Thursday against the former Academy Award nominee.
Osment, 18, is facing misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence, driving while having a blood alcohol level higher than the legal limit of 0.08--the D.A.'s office said Osment's was 0.16--and possessing marijuana while driving.
According to authorities, Osment was driving to his La Cañada Flintridge-area home in his 1995 Saturn shortly after 1 a.m. on July 20 when he apparently lost control of the car, jumped a curb and hit a brick mailbox post, causing his vehicle to flip over.
Luckily the star of the upcoming film Home of the Giants was safely buckled in. A coherent Osment was pulled from the car and taken to Pasadena's Huntington Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for a broken rib and shoulder lacerations before being released the next day.
To add insult to injury, the A.I. star is also accused of driving with a blood alcohol level of at least .05 while being under 21, a violation of the California Vehicle Code.
Too old to be a child phenom, too young to avoid obscure legal infractions.
Prosecutors have requested that bail be set at $15,000--once the Sixth Sense star is actually booked, that is. Osment has been ordered to turn himself in at a later date. While the actor will not have to appear in court because he has been accused of misdemeanor-caliber crimes, he still faces either probation or six months in county jail.
An arraignment has been scheduled for Sept. 19 in Glendale Superior Court.
