This is the second time Ezra Miller got arrested in Hawaii

The arrest comes as Ezra Miller already faces charges, on the counts of harassment and disorderly conduct, stemming from a March incident at a karaoke club in which the angry actor allegedly seized a microphone from a lady and rushed at a man playing darts.

Miller paid $500 bail and was set free in these cases, but were slated for arraignment for the karaoke bar arrest and a related traffic case Tuesday, April 19. It's unclear how the new arrest might affect the arraignment.

According to Kenneth Quiocho, the Hawaii police assistant chief, Miller was involved in a confrontation in downtown Hilo last month in which officers reacted when they refused to leave the area and impeded a sidewalk.

Miller's attorney, Francis Alcain, had requested that Tuesday's court hearing, which had been planned for next week, be pushed up because the actor "had different time-sensitive professional responsibilities in California and/or New York" and needed an earlier hearing to address the matter.

The star's legal problems endanger their career. According to Rolling Stone, Warner Bros. and DC execs had an emergency meeting following Miller's initial arrest and agreed to halt any further projects with the actor.

Miller's recent arrest comes just days after the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore in the United States, in which he reprises his role as Credence Barebone. Miller, who has previously been in We Need to Talk About Kevin, Zack Snyder's Justice League and The Perks of Being a Wallflower, will appear in a solo Flash film in 2023.
