On April 9, 2021, actor Ezra Miller will appear in court to accept a plea deal that would avoid jail time in connection with a break-in at a southern Vermont home. Miller agreed to a suspended sentence of 89 to 90 days in jail with a $500 fine plus a $192 surcharge and to be placed on probation for a year. This plea deal would drop two other charges, including a felony burglary charge that could have carried a sentence of 25 years in prison.
The incident in question occurred in May of 2020 when Vermont State Police responded to a burglary complaint and discovered that several bottles of alcohol had been taken from a residence while the homeowner was away. The homeowner said he had been friends with Miller for about 18 years and had bought the home a year and a half ago. Surveillance footage and witness interviews ultimately led to Miller's charge.
Miller was also arrested twice last year in Hawaii for disorderly conduct and harassment at a karaoke bar. Miller stars in the upcoming film “The Flash,” expected to be out in June 2023.
The resolution of Miller's case is a reminder that no matter a person's status, they are subject to the same laws and regulations as anyone else. His situation serves as an example of the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions and accepting the consequences.
