Former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell has gone missing.
The Daytona Beach Police Department reported that the Drake & Josh actor’s whereabouts were unknown, announcing that they were “looking for Jared Bell,” adding that “he is considered missing and endangered.” Bell was last seen on Wednesday, April 12 in a grey BMW.
The former actor was going through a separation with his wife Janey Von Schmeling earlier this year, entering treatment for substance abuse after he was seen huffing balloons in a car with his son in the back seat. He pled guilty to child endangerment in 2021. Bell has a troubled history as he was charged with driving under the influence in 2015 and allegedly sent inappropriate DMs to a concert go-er in 2017.
