Mitchel Musso was arrested after allegedly stealing a bag of chips while intoxicated.

Musso arrived at a local hotel in Texas around 7:15 p.m. on Saturday and picked up the salty snack as he "appeared intoxicated," Rockwall police detailed, per a news publication.

Hotel staffers attempted to tell the Disney Channel alum to pay for chips, however, he was allegedly verbally abusive toward the employees and left without handing over any money.

This isn't the first time Musso has been arrested due to alcohol. In 2011, he was arrested and charged for driving under the influence in Los Angeles at age 20, as OK! previously reported.

"Someone needs to look into Disney [because] these childhood stars always end up doing out of the ordinary things and getting in trouble with the law in their adulthood. Seems like they can't handle the trauma they were suffering with whilst on set & act out in their adulthood because of it," one user claimed, as many childhood stars have landed themselves in headlines for substance-related problems.

A supporter of Musso expressed: "Hey brother really hope you’re doing well, we all have hard days. I’ve definitely been there myself. You got this."

Dallas Morning News received police reports confirming his arrest, as well as his mugshot.
