Drake Bell Raises Alarming Concerns After He Is Reported “Missing and Endangered”

  • According to the Daytona Beach Police, Drake Bell was last spotted at 9pm on Wednesday driving a grey BMW.
  • There are increasing concerns for the actor’s well-being since he recently completed probation for child endangerment and is now reported as missing.
  • Reports indicate that the former child star sought treatment in January and has also recently gone through a separation from his wife.

Former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, who has faced disgrace due to his past behavior, is currently reported as ‘missing and endangered.’ This comes several months after he was spotted inhaling from a ‘hippy crack’ balloon while in a car with his young son, which raised concerns about his well-being and safety.

The Daytona Beach Police Department identified the former Nickelodeon star as missing on April 13th. They posted a missing person’s report on their Facebook page, urging the public to be vigilant in keeping an eye out for the actor. 

According to authorities, Bell was last spotted near Mainland High School in Florida on the evening of April 12th, driving a 2022 grey BMW. The case is being taken seriously by officials, as police have labeled Bell as “endangered.”

The former Nickelodeon star, who had faced allegations of child endangerment after a woman claimed to have performed oral sex on him when she was only 15 years old, has recently completed a two-year probation period.

In January, Bell sought treatment shortly after being spotted in his parked car for over thirty minutes, appearing to be inhaling from a balloon, with his son in the vehicle. Following this incident, the actor and his wife, Janet Von Schmeling, who is also an actress, separated, with Von Schmeling relocating to Florida with their son.

In December, Bell, who gained popularity for his roles on Drake & Josh and The Amanda Show, was caught on camera inhaling inflated balloons while sitting in the front seat of his parked car outside his Los Angeles residence. 

Wearing a basketball hat and sunglasses, he spent more than half an hour inflating and deflating a pink balloon. Later, he was seen taking his young sleeping son out of a car seat in the back and bringing him into the house.

The contents of the balloons and the purpose of Bell’s actions remain unclear. This incident occurred while Bell, whose birth name is Jared ‘Drake’ Bell, was serving a two-year probation for endangering the welfare of a 15-year-old girl. 

In July 2021, he had pleaded guilty to child endangerment charges and was sentenced to two years of probation and 200 hours of community service.
