Former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, also known as Jared Bell, made headlines when he was reported missing in Daytona Beach, Florida, on April 13, 2023.
Fortunately, he was later found safe after law enforcement officials confirmed that they were in contact with him.
The Daytona Police Department reported that Drake Bell had disappeared and was considered endangered. The 36-year-old actor was last seen near Mainland High School on Wednesday night before he went missing.
However, on April 13, the Daytona Beach Police Department announced that Bell had been found safe, putting an end to the concern about his well-being.
Drake Bell is best known for his roles in Nickelodeon TV shows such as “The Amanda Show” and the live-action version of “The Fairly OddParents” films.
He was born in Santa Ana, California, in 1986, and started his career as a child actor in 1994. Besides acting, he is also a musician and released several albums throughout his career.
In 2021, Drake Bell pleaded guilty to a felony charge of attempting to endanger children and a misdemeanor charge of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.
He was sentenced to two years of probation and 200 hours of community service.
The charges stemmed from an incident that took place in December 2017 when Bell had inappropriate conduct with a 15-year-old girl at a club where he was scheduled to perform.
The two connected via social media for two months before the incident, exchanging messages that were “at times…sexual in nature.”
Additionally, Bell was arrested in 2014 for DUI, and he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge, spending four days behind bars.
