Nicholas Brendon Arrested After Flipping Hotel Bed and Smashing a Mirror
Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum Nicholas Brendon, who played Xander on the cult series and has also appeared on Criminal Minds, has been dealing with personal turmoil over the past few months. He was arrested in Tallahassee, Florida on Friday March 13 for the third time in five months for allegedly trashing a hotel room. Again.
He was in town at the time for the ALTCon Geek convention.
Sources tell TMZ that the troubled star, 43, flipped a bed and smashed a mirror. He was later spotted walking barefoot in the lobby before being charged with criminal mischief.
The actor was arrested in February for a similar drunken hotel incident at the same time of convention. And in October,Brendon was again arrested after an incident in an Idaho hotel lobby when he got into a disagreement with guests and staffers.
According to his interview with E! Online,"I intend to seek appropriate treatment and therapy for my medical ailments as well as my emotional demons," he said at the time, adding, "During this difficult time, I appreciate understanding as I pursue rehabilitation-and I value support as I earn redemption with my family, friends, and fans."
As reported in US Weekly, "Nicholas is, unfortunately, battling a disease that many of us don't understand," his rep told TMZ at the time. "We are working with him to improve upon the situation at hand and look toward the future."
Brendon's latest trouble with the law comes just one month after ending his marriage to wife Moonda Tee. The couple split less than five months after tying the knot in Las Vegas.
