'One Tree Hill' Star Busted for SSN Scam

Posted Apr 16th 2009 4:35PM by TMZ Staff

The guy who plays "Skills" on "One Tree Hill" clearly has none when it comes to being a crook, because he was just popped by police in connection with a Social Security card scam.

Antwon Tanner surrendered to federal prosecutors this morning. The U.S. Attorney's office says Tanner "knowingly and intentionally" transferred Social Security cards last year "with intent to defraud." "Tree Hill" paychecks must be affected by the stimulus too.

He will be arraigned at Federal Court in Brooklyn Thursday.

UPDATE: Antwon pled not guilty at his arraignment, and was released on $250,000 bond.
