Ezra Miller has made a plea deal in a Vermont burglary case, three months after pleading not guilty.
If convicted, Miller, who uses they/them pronouns, faces up to 26 years in prison and a $2,000 fine. The troubled “The Flash” actor is expected to change his plea to guilty on Friday, according to nbc,
Representatives for Miller did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TheWrap.
He was charged with a felony count of burglary in an occupied dwelling and a misdemeanor charge of petit theft based on video surveillance that showed him entering a neighbor’s home on May 1. According to police, Miller stole three bottles of liquor. The incident is of May 1.
Miller pleaded not guilty on October 17 in Bennington Superior Court. Court documents state that at the time of the incident, Miller told law enforcement that he was a friend of the homeowner and was merely attempting to borrow cooking ingredients. On May 2, law enforcement found a neighbor’s living room littered with bottles and cigarette butts and raided the pantry.
Miller previously announced that he had begun treatment for “complex mental health issues” after a string of brushes with the law in Hawaii, Vermont and elsewhere. At the time, Miller apologized, saying, “Having recently gone through a period of severe distress, I now understand that I suffer from complex mental health issues and have begun treatment.”
The statement continued, “I want to apologize to everyone that I have worried and upset with my past behavior.” “I am committed to doing what is necessary to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.”
