Former Disney Channel star Adam Wylie busted for allegedly stealing from Target
Former child star Adam Wylie was busted for allegedly stealing from Target, Page Six can confirm.
Wylie, 39, was caught allegedly shoplifting several items from one of the retail giant’s stores in Burbank, Calif., on the evening of Oct. 13.
A spokesperson for the Burbank Police Department tells us that Target loss prevention officers “observed the suspect select health and beauty products from the display shelf and conceal them in a shopping cart with other merchandise.”
We’re told Wylie then “proceeded to the self-checkout” but allegedly “only scanned some of the items” in his cart.
Target’s security personnel “approached” the actor outside the store and “escorted” him back inside to wait for cops to arrive, the BPD spokesperson says.
We’re told the stolen and recovered items included beauty products and clothing totaling $108.05.
The police spokesperson says Target loss prevention officers advised cops that they wanted Wylie to be prosecuted, so they signed a citizen’s arrest form on behalf of the retailer.
We’re told BPD officers cited the former Disney Channel star for petty theft and let him go.
His reps did not immediately respond to our request for comment.
Wylie is best known for starring in the ’90s TV drama “Picket Fences” as well as the 1994 movie “The Swan Princess” and the TV films “Under Wraps.”
His past credits also include “Who’s the Boss?,” “Home Improvement,” “Seinfeld,” “Boy Meets World,” “Living Single,” “7th Heaven,” “The Wild Thornberrys,” “As Told by Ginger,” “Hey Arnold!,” “Gilmore Girls,” “NCIS,” “Malcolm in the Middle,” “Veronica Mars,” “Monk,” “Zoey 101,” “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” “Entourage,” “General Hospital,” “Phineas and Ferb,” the “Smurfs” movies and “Anger Management.”
TMZ was first to report the news.
