'Flash,' 'Fantastic Beasts' Actor Ezra Miller Of North Jersey Booked Again In Hawaii

PUNA, HI — North Jersey native Ezra Miller has been arrested in Hawaii for the second time in several weeks after hitting a woman with a chair, police said.

The 29-year-old actor is accused of throwing the chair and hitting a woman on the forehead during a get-together in lower Puna, according to Hawaii police.

Miller, a Wyckoff native, plays Barry Allen/The Flash in "Justice League" and Credence Barebone in the "Fantastic Beasts" series, which is a spinoff of "Harry Potter."

Miller, who uses they/them pronouns, was arrested at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday on an assault charge. Police found them on the roadway during a traffic stop, according to a report.

"At 1:10 a.m., Puna patrol officers responded to a report of an assault that occurred at a get together at a private residence in the Leilani Estates subdivision in lower Puna," police said. "During the course of their investigation, police determined that the individual, later identified as Ezra Miller, became irate after being asked to leave and reportedly threw a chair, striking a 26-year-old female on the forehead, resulting in an approximate half-inch cut."

The woman declined treatment for the half-inch cut she sustained, police said.

Miller was released Tuesday morning.

In March, Allen was arrested after an incident at a karaoke bar in Hilo.

Investigators determined Miller, 29, became agitated when other bar patrons began singing karaoke on March 27. Police said Miller yelled obscenities and eventually grabbed the microphone from a 23-year-old woman who was singing. Miller later lunged at a 32-year-old man playing darts, police said.

Miller repeatedly ignored the bar owner's requests that the actor calm down, police said.

Miller, who now owns a farm in Vermont, was arrested and charged on both offenses, and later released on $500 bail.

The arrest of Miller comes after video appeared to show Miller grab a woman's throat and throw her to the ground in April 2020. That incident happened at a bar in Reykjavik, Iceland, and Miller was escorted out of the bar.

The latest movie in the "Fantastic Beasts" series, "The Crimes of Dumbledore," recorded the lowest opening weekend of any "Harry Potter" franchise film, according to Deadline.

The franchise has come under scrutiny because of author J.K. Rowling's views on trans women and actor Johnny Depp's ongoing court battle with his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Depp played the Dark wizard Grindelwald in the second movie, "The Crimes Of Grindelwald."
