A former child actor and North Jersey native was arrested after an alleged burglary in California.
Chris O’Neal, who appeared on the Nickelodeon series “How to Rock,” was arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department March 16, according to USA TODAY. He was charged with a felony, though additional details were not immediately available.
Authorities responded to a burglary call in Malibu in which a resident saw three adults enter a home via security camera footage, according to TMZ. The suspects allegedly manipulated the cameras so the caller could not see what happened afterward.
O’Neal, 31, was released March 17 due to “insufficient grounds” to file a complaint, TMZ stated.
