Celebrity Justice
Haley Joel Osment To Be Charged With DUI/Pot Possession

TMZ broke the story that the LA County District Attorney planned to file criminal charges against Haley Joel Osment. Well, it happened Thursday afternoon.

Osment, 18, has been charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol. Osment has also been charged with driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher, with an enhancement of driving with a .15 or higher. Osment was also charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana while driving. Finally, Osment was charged with the infraction of driving under the age of 21 with a blood alcohol level of .05 or higher.


Osment, who was nominated for an Oscar for his role in "The Sixth Sense" at age 11, lost control of his 1995 Saturn on his way home and collided with a brick pillar in a suburb around 1 a.m. on July 20. No bystanders were injured in the wreck, but Osment wasn't so lucky: the actor was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was treated for a broken rib and a shoulder injury.

The collision caused the vehicle to flip over onto its roof and come to rest a short distance from the initial impact. The actor was reportedly alert and talkative following the accident, and was alone at the time of the crash.

271. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. He's being smart with his money, he's a smart person. And believe it or not I read in an article that he got payed around 1% of what his co-star got payed for Sixth Sense. It's not like he's got millions and millions of dollars to just blow on anything he wants. Thats exactly how other childstars screw their life up, because they don't think about their future. And also, hes 18 f****** years old. Every f****** 18 year old has been involved with drinking and smoking sometime in their lives. It's not like it's a huge deal or anything.

He's an excellent actor, and if his acting career starts to slow down in the near future after his movie comming out next year, then in his interviews he says that he will go into directing.

I'm sticking behing you Haley!

276. I used to be a dope like some of you fools...with your "marijuana is just an herb...it should be legalized". but you know what?..once you get a little older and more mature and really understand the whole picture--you don't think the same stupid thoughts. Unless of course, you are still smoking it like you were in high school---except now you're 40! Ha ha... Get a clue dopes... Marijuana IS a drug...if it wasn't--you wouldn't give a crap about it. I don't see anyone writing about the virtues of oregano,,,I mean--it's just an herb!

277. Oregano is an herb. Basil is an herb. Dill is an herb. I don't hear about any of you total dopes smoking any of these. And why? Because they don't do anything fun or interesting to your perception. You guys are stupid!

278. This person is right! Ha ha ha... My friend was sold some oregano one time--a "drive-thru" situation, couldn't go back--wouldn't anyway (tough characters)...and she tried to smoke it...and she says "I think I'm getting high"... my other friend smells it and looks at it and says "that's oregano". She should have felt like a total fool, but instead...over time...she converted the memory to recall that it was the other person who thought they were getting high on oregano. HA ha ha... Yes--the brain doesn't recall to well after years of smoking the real green.

281. Let's see if he get's the preferential treatment Mel did. Money talks.

282. ummm i have to disagree with U know who, anything that can get u high is a drug, and is therefore not something to be playing around with. Just accept that the drug is illegal and is illegal for a good reason. If marajuana was legal, we'd have another alcohol on our hands and our country would be SUCH a better place, right? fu*k off idiots.
