Haley Joel Osment has issued a statement following his arrest at a ski resort.
Osment, best known for starring in films like The Sixth Sense, Pay it Forward, Forrest Gump and, most recently, Blink Twice, was at a ski lodge in Mammoth Lakes, California, when he was taken into custody by local law enforcement.
In a statement, the Office of the District Attorney County of Mono said: "District Attorney David Anderson announced that Haley Joel Osment, 37, was charged today with two misdemeanors arising from his arrest by the Mammoth Lakes Police Department at Mammoth Mountain on April 8, 2025.
"Specifically, Mr. Osment was charged with a violation of Penal Code Section 647(f) - Disorderly Conduct: Under the Influence of Alcohol in Public, and Health and Safety Code Section 11350(a) - Possession of Cocaine."

In a video of Osment's arrest, he was heard saying: "I'm not fighting you."
Meanwhile, in footage taken in the back of the police car, he said he was being 'kidnapped by a f**king Nazi'
In a statement issued to PEOPLE, the actor said the language that he used was 'disgraceful' and apologized for his behavior.
"I’m absolutely horrified by my behavior," Osment said. "Had I known I used this disgraceful language in the throes of a blackout, I would have spoken up sooner."
He added: "The past few months of loss and displacement have broken me down to a very low emotional place. But that’s no excuse for using this disgusting word. From the bottom of my heart, I apologize to absolutely everyone that this hurts. What came out of my mouth was nonsensical garbage - I’ve let the Jewish community down and it devastates me.
"I don’t ask for anyone’s forgiveness, but I promise to atone for my terrible mistake."
During his arrest, police searched the actor and discovered a $20 bill reportedly with a substance inside. A police source previously told PEOPLE the 'controlled substance' Osment was arrested for 'is presumed to be cocaine'.
"We sent it for testing. We will have the results soon," they added.
Osment lost his home in the disastrous wildfires that ravaged California earlier this year.
In a post on Instagram, sister Emily Osment wrote: "It’s been an extremely difficult month. Thank you to everyone that has reached out to my family in the wake of the fires. Devastated for my mother my father and my brother who lost their homes in the Altadena fire.
"Community is everything and I know I’m heavily leaning on mine right now-and that’s okay! So much love for my beautiful, aching city. We will rebuild. We are so strong, even stronger than we could ever imagine.
"Please find some time to donate and show up and be there for those who are struggling right now. We’re all doing our best and that really is enough."
