Why were they arrested?

Ezra Miller has been in a spot of trouble in recent weeks as they were arrested several times in Hawaii.

The actor was first arrested in March after allegedly ‘becoming agitated by karaoke singers’ in Honolulu, with police stating they ‘began yelling obscenities and at one point grabbed the microphone from a 23-year-old woman singing karaoke…and later lunged at a 32-year-old man playing darts.’

They were charged with disorderly conduct and harassment, with a court case due to take place on April 26.

The Justice League star was then arrested again in April, also in Hawaii, for an alleged assault in the Puna area.

A police statement released at the time determined that Ezra ‘became irate after being asked to leave and reportedly threw a chair, striking a 26-year-old female on the forehead, resulting in an approximate half-inch cut.’

They were arrested for assault in the second degree.
