“Drake & Josh” star Drake Bell has reportedly been found after Florida police labeled him “missing and endangered” Thursday.
The Daytona Beach Police Department confirmed online Thursday afternoon that law enforcement is in contact with Bell and he’s safe. However, it’s unclear where he was and why police were concerned about his safety.
Early Thursday, the Department reported that the former Nickelodeon actor, whose given name is Jared Drake Bell, went missing and was last seen driving his 2022 gray BMW Wednesday evening before 9 p.m.
On Tuesday, fans spotted Bell with his son at SeaWorld Orlando.
Bell is best known for his roles in “The Amanda Show” and “Drake & Josh” in the early 2000s. He also appeared in “Yours, Mine and Ours,” “Superhero Movie” and “The Nutty Professor.”
In 2021, he pleaded guilty to attempted child endangerment and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles after sending sexually explicit texts to a 15-year-old girl. The girl also accused the former child star of grooming her from the age of 12 before allegedly sexually abusing her when she was 15.
Bell was sentenced to two years probation and 200 hours of community service.
