Brendon Charged With Grand Theft & Criminal Mischief

Troubled actor Nicholas Brendon was arrested Wednesday, RadarOnline.com has learned, after an apparent meltdown in Saratoga Springs, New York.

actor, 44, has been involved in three separate incidents with local police there over the last 10 days – the final one from last night, or Sept. 30, resulting in a slew of charges that include a felony.

A police spokesman told Radar Brendon had two separate unspecified mental health incidents on Sept. 22 and Sept. 23, respectively.

The second, on Sept. 23, warranted a trip to the local hospital, police said.

“He didn’t have any physical injuries,” a spokesman told Radar. “But he was in need of care. Let’s just say he was having a really bad day.”

Neither of those incidents resulted in an arrest or a citation, although such cannot be said for the far more serious events of Sept. 30, also in Saratoga Springs, home to Saratoga Casino and Raceway.

Police told Radar they were called to the Springs Motel, just outside of the downtown area, by Brendon’s girlfriend – an unnamed 33-year-old woman.

Authorities said Brendon allegedly choked her, stole her car keys, hurled her cell phone into the roadway, and threw a chair against the wall.

“There was alcohol involved,” the police spokesman said, “although I can’t specify how.”
