After being charged for burglary, for supposedly breaking into a Vermont home and stealing alcohol, Ezra Miller pleaded not guilty.
The non-binary actor appeared virtually for the Monday hearing in Vermont Superior Court with their attorney, Lisa Shelkrot, who said her client accepted the court-imposed conditions of not contacting or entering the home of the inhabitants.
Shelkrot said, “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 at the time of the burglary incident.
After investigating surveillance footage, officers claimed that there was probable cause found to charge Ezra for the 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,” Miller said. “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.
In fact, 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, Miller told police 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, Miller 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.
