Buffy the Vampire Slayer star and Criminal Minds actor Nicholas Brendon was arrested and charged with providing false information to obtain prescription drugs, Breaking Celebrity News can exclusively confirm.
The 50-year-old entertainer was taken into custody on Aug. 18 in Vigo County, Indiana, by the Terre Haute Police Department after obtaining "legend drugs" using a fake name and/or address.
His initial hearing took place on Monday at 10 AM local time, where a jury trial was scheduled for February 15, 2022.
When contacted by Breaking Celebrity News, the actor's attorney, Christopher Eskew, had no comment.
Brendon is currently on probation for attacking a former girlfriend at a Palm Springs hotel in 2017.
At the time, he was arrested at The Saguaro Palm Springs on suspicion of felony domestic violence and violating active protective orders after he allegedly grabbed and "violently" pulled the woman by the hair.
Brendon posted bail following his arrest and was not formally charged until April of 2019.
Last February, he struck a plea deal with prosecutors, which required that he serve three years on probation and complete a 52-week domestic violence course, in addition to 20 hours of community service. He was also ordered to have zero contact with his victim for three years.
Brendon's original felony charge of inflicting corporal injury on a spouse was also reduced to misdemeanor domestic battery.
