Ezra Miller is expected to plead guilty to trespassing on Friday in a deal that could reduce his 26-year prison sentence to just 90 days.
The 30-year-old Flash actor has previously pleaded not guilty to trespassing charges, two counts of burglary from an unoccupied residence and petty theft for allegedly breaking into a Vermont home and stealing three bottles of alcohol.
But, according to NBC News, Miller is expected to plead guilty to trespassing when they appear before a Vermont Superior Court judge on Friday.
In exchange, prosecutors will drop the burglary and larceny charges.
Embattled actor Ezra Miller is set to plead guilty to trespassing charges on Friday in a deal that will see his burglary and larceny charges dropped.
The non-binary actor is accused of breaking into this home in Stamford, Vermont and stealing bottles of gin, vodka and rum
The non-binary actor faced 26 years in prison if found guilty of these charges, as well as more than $2,000 in fines.
Prosecutors are now seeking just 89 to 90 days behind bars, as well as a year of probation and a $500 fine, NBC News reported, citing court documents.
Miller, who uses the pronouns they/they, is accused of taking bottles of gin, vodka and rum from his neighbor’s pantry on May 1 around 5 pm.
Vermont State Police said in a statement at the time that they were notified of “a report of burglary at a residence on County Road in the town of Stamford, Vermont.”
“Initial findings indicated that several bottles of alcohol were removed from the residence while the owners were not present,” the statement continued.
‘As a result of an investigation that included surveillance video and affidavits, probable cause was found to charge Ezra M. Miller with the felony burglary of an unoccupied residence.’
They were arrested in August and pleaded not guilty in October, when a judge ordered him to stay away from neighbor Isaac Winokur – whose house he stole the bottles from – and also neighbor Aiden Early.
The actor spoke only to confirm that they understood the conditions of his bail.
Miller had previously said that they were at the house to look for ingredients for a recipe for his mother.
Miller had previously pleaded not guilty to the allegations, claiming he was obtaining ingredients for a recipe for his mother.
It was just the actor’s latest run-in with the law.
They had also been accused of grooming, after the parents of Tokota Iron Eyes, an 18-year-old Native American activist, filed a protective order against the actor.
Her parents accused Miller of grooming their son and other inappropriate behavior towards her as a under 12 year old – which was disputed by Tokota.
Miller had previously been arrested in Hawaii
A Massachusetts mother was granted a temporary protective order against Miller in June on behalf of the woman’s 12-year-old son.
It was granted after the judge found the child faced ‘substantial likelihood of immediate danger of harassment’.
A mother of three and her young children have also moved into Miller’s farm in Vermont, which is reportedly filled with guns and large amounts of marijuana.
The children’s father claims the 25-year-old mother left her Hawaiian island home with Miller in April and took the children without his consent.
An April video obtained by Rolling Stone showed at least eight assault weapons, rifles and handguns scattered around the living room.
One exposé also alleged that they ran a secret harem on their Vermont ranch – a de facto convent where the star asserted himself as a Jesus figure over a group of women.
Miller was accused of ‘grooming’ and ‘brainwashing’ Tokata Iron Eyes, 18 (backseat), who is a member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. They are pictured together in a car.
Miller was also arrested twice in Hawaii in March and charged with disorderly conduct and second-degree assault.
They were accused of yelling and swearing at customers while singing karaoke at a bar in Hilo, as well as grabbing the microphone of a 23-year-old woman.
At a court hearing for the incident, they pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge and paid a $500 fine.
In April, the star was accused of throwing a chair at a 26-year-old woman, hitting her at a private party in Pahoa.
A video of Miller appearing to choke a woman in a bar in Reykjavik, Iceland also surfaced in April 2020, but it did not result in any charges.

In August, Miller announced that he was seeking treatment for “complex mental health issues,” after Hollywood bosses were forced to reconsider his future in the DC cinematic universe.
They said in a statement: ‘Having recently gone through a period of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering from complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment’
“I want to apologize to everyone for being alarmed and upset by my past behavior. I am committed to doing the work necessary to get back to a healthy, safe and productive phase of my life.’
The actor is now set to star in The Flash, whose promo will debut at the Super Bowl after a source told The Wrap that early showings have seen positive feedback.
It will feature Miller as the titular superhero encountering other versions of himself and Supergirl from other timelines.
