The actor was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, after he allegedly trashed his Hilton hotel room, People magazine reports. He was charged with grand theft and criminal mischief.
According to the police report, which was obtained by TMZ, Brendon drunkenly trashed his hotel room and managed to cause $450 worth of damage. He also racked up a food bill of almost $380 in food and drink charges, which he refused to pay for.
Staff called the authorities after they found Brendon “passed out” on the floor of a staffer’s office, People magazine reports. And according to the police report, Brendon was under the influence of alcohol at the time.
