Haley Joel Osment may soon be facing criminal charges following an arrest earlier this month at Mammoth Mountain ski resort in California. The actor was taken into custody on April 8 after authorities received a call just before 2 p.m. reporting an allegedly intoxicated individual on the resort grounds.

According to official documents obtained by TMZ, ski patrol officers were already attending to Osment when law enforcement arrived. He was subsequently arrested for public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance. Authorities have sent the substance to a lab  for analysis to determine its specific nature.

Osment was booked and later released, pending a decision from the Mono County District Attorney on whether to pursue charges.

Sources close to the actor suggest he has been under significant stress in recent months. Osment reportedly lost his home and belongings in the Altadena wildfire and has faced ongoing difficulties with his insurance provider, including a recent claim denial for a replacement residence.

This is not the actor’s first brush with alcohol-related legal issues. In 2006, Osment was involved in a serious crash after driving under the influence, sustaining shoulder and rib injuries when his vehicle struck a brick pillar. He later pleaded no contest to charges of DUI and marijuana possession and received a sentence that included three years’ probation, alcohol rehabilitation, mandatory AA meetings, and a $1,500 fine.

The Mono County District Attorney’s Office has not yet made a formal announcement regarding prosecution.

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Federal Operations Unit, Zone A, has reaffirmed its commitment to curbing illicit financial flows, following the seizure of undeclared foreign currency valued at ₦30.86 million near the Seme border.

The seized funds were formally handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday, 16 July 2025.

Speaking during the handover, the Unit head, Comptroller Mohammed Shuaibu, explained that the interception occurred on Sunday, 13 July 2025, when officers on routine patrol along the Babapupa bush path flagged down a suspicious Nissan Almera.

According to him, the driver abandoned the vehicle and fled into the nearby bush, evading arrest. “Upon inspection, officers discovered undeclared foreign currency, $20,000 in U.S. dollars and 110,000 in West African CFA francs carefully stashed in the vehicle.”

“The seized currency contravenes Section 3 of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022, which mandates the declaration of any amount exceeding $10,000 or its equivalent at Nigeria’s borders”, he noted.

Comptroller Shuaibu highlighted the importance of inter-agency collaboration in tackling transnational crimes while reiterating the Unit’s commitment to protecting the Nigerian economy from economic sabotage. “We will remain vigilant and ensure our borders are not used as conduits for criminal activities.”

After receiving the seized currency, the Head of Investigation, Lagos Directorate of the EFCC, Shehu Muhammed-Allah, commended the Service for its professionalism and timely intervention.

“This handover reinforces the synergy between both agencies. It is a strong message to criminals that the law is watching, and there will be consequences”, he warned.

He affirmed that the EFCC will investigate to trace the ownership of the abandoned vehicle and will pursue legal proceedings in accordance with the law.

A former governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom, has explained why he worked against the candidature of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in 2023.

Ortom said he worked against Atiku at the risk of his senatorial ambition.

He disclosed this on Thursday while fielding questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme.

The former Governor stated that be believed for equity, fairness and justice, the PDP should have allowed presidency to go the south.

He said: “And when members of the PDP overwhelmingly accepted that the presidency should be in the north, we say no, it was wrong, because everyone knows here for equity, fairness and justice, we should allow presidency in the North for eight years, and the south should go for eight years.

“I’ve already made my position known. I don’t want to be a hypocrite. I don’t want to pretend. And I made it very clear that was why I worked against the PDP in 2023 election. And I did say that even if I lose my senatorial election, After some eight years as governor, it doesn’t matter. But let it be known that there are people who believe in justice, equity and fairness.”
