Overview

  • Osment was arrested on April 8 in Mammoth Lakes, California, on charges of public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance.
  • At his June 2 arraignment, he won a one-year diversion program despite objections from the Mono County district attorney.
  • He is required to attend at least three AA meetings per week and meet with a therapist twice weekly for six months.
  • Osment issued a public apology for using antisemitic slurs during the arrest, calling his behavior ‘disgraceful’ and attributing it to emotional distress after losing his home in recent wildfires.
  • His compliance will be reviewed on January 5, 2026, and successful completion of the program will result in dismissal of all charges.
