Chris Zylka is facing multiple felony charges following an altercation with law enforcement in Ohio.
Multiple outlets reported that Zylka, 39, was in the middle of a busy road in Warren, Ohio on December 4 attempting to get into various people’s cars. Authorities arrived at the scene and found the actor “foaming at the mouth,” per a police report obtained by local CBS affiliate WKBN.
Police believed that Zylka was seemingly under the influence of drugs, per the outlet. He was not wearing a shirt or shoes despite the 32-degree weather.
Officers tried to take Zylka into custody, but he allegedly struggled with police and broke free when they tried to handcuff him. One law enforcement officer subsequently tackled Zylka but could not restrain him.
While Zylka fought with the officer who tackled him, another officer used his stun weapon but it failed to have any effect. Zylka was stunned a second time, which also did not work. Zylka was able to be restrained when a third police officer arrived to help handcuff the actor.
According to a police report obtained by People, paramedics also showed up at the scene. After Zylka was stunned, he was administered ketamine to “subdue” him.
Zylka is facing felony charges of assault and attempt to commit an offense in addition to misdemeanors for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and aggravated menacing. A warrant has been issued for Zykla’s arrest but he has not been taken into custody yet.
Us Weekly has reached out to the Warren Police Department for comment.
Zylka got his start in Hollywood by landing a guest role on The CW’s 90210 reboot. He went on to star in other projects including My Super Psycho Sweet 16, The Secret Circle and The Leftovers.
In addition to acting, Zykla has also made headlines for his love life over the years. He dated Lucy Hale for nine months in 2012 and was previously engaged to Paris Hilton. Zylka proposed to Hilton in January 2018 after one year of dating. Nine months later, the pair broke up.
Before Zylka’s incident with the authorities, he was sharing his fitness training and hopes to one day compete in the Olympics for track and field on social media.
“The past few days I’ve had a lot of people ask what my day in training looks like. DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT THE PROPER COACHING,” he wrote via Instagram in November. “I spend about three hours in the gym and a few running as well. #Olympics2028.”
