Ezra Miller pleads not guilty to burglary charges in Vermont
Ezra Miller has pleaded not guilty to burglary charges for allegedly breaking into a Vermont home and stealing alcohol, Page Six can confirm.
The non-binary actor appeared virtually for the Monday hearing in Vermont Superior Court with their attorney, Lisa Shelkrot, who told us that her client “accepted the court-imposed conditions of not contacting or entering the home of the inhabitants.”
She added, “Ezra would like to acknowledge the love and support they have received from their family and friends, who continue to be a vital presence in their ongoing mental health.”
In early August, Miller, 30, was charged with one count of felony burglary into an occupied dwelling and one count of misdemeanor petty larceny.
Vermont State Police accused the troubled movie star of burglarizing a private residence in Stamford on the afternoon of May 1 and taking several bottles of booze.
The homeowners were away when the alleged incident occurred, according to the police report.
After reviewing surveillance footage, VSP officers claimed “probable cause was found to charge” the “Flash” star for the alleged crimes.
A week later, Miller began treatment for “complex mental health issues” and issued an apology for their behavior over the past year that’s led to a string of arrests stemming from worrisome accusations of assault and abuse.
“Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,” they told Variety at the time via a statement from their rep.
“I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.”
Miller’s public antics this year have been alarming, to say the least.
In fact, VSP officers cited Miller with the burglary charge during one of their visits to the actor’s Stamford farm — which is allegedly littered with firearms, ammunition and marijuana — to attempt to locate the young family he was accused of housing and remove them from the property.
At the time, the “Fantastic Beasts” star allegedly told cops that the 25-year-old mother and her three children — aged 5, 4 and 1 — hadn’t lived there in months, which the State Attorney’s office said seemed like an attempt to conceal the family’s whereabouts and “evade service” of the order.
It has not yet been revealed whether the woman and her kids have been located; however, she insisted to the Rolling Stone in June that Miller provided “a safe environment for [her] three very young children.”
Miller was also arrested twice in Hawaii — once in March for disorderly conduct, to which they pleaded no contest, and again in April for allegedly throwing a chair at a woman.
Additionally, they were the subject of nearly a dozen 9-1-1 calls in less than a month in the same state.
Then in June, the “Perks of Being a Wallflower” star was accused of “grooming” a teenager, who denied the claim, and had a restraining order taken out against them by another woman and her 12-year-old child.
