Oscar-nominated actor Haley Joel Osment has been charged with public intoxication and cocaine possession after his arrest earlier this month at a northern California ski resort.

The Mono County District Attorney’s office announced the misdemeanour charges against the 37-year-old actor, who starred as a child in films The Sixth Sense and A.I.
