A former child actor was arrested after breaking into a home in Van Nuys, California and causing damage to property while high on meth.

Marysville Police Department said that Shaun Weiss—who as a child actor played the character of Greg Goldberg in Walt Disney's Mighty Ducks franchise—broke into a garage and bashed the windshield of the car parked inside.


The department's statement read:

"Weiss forced entry to gain access into the vehicle by shattering a window."
"Officers noticed shattered glass on the ground and observed that the passenger window to the vehicle was broken."

The department's statement added that Weiss:

"displayed symptoms of being under the influence of methamphetamine."

The homeowner told officers he was the only resident and that no one "had permission to be inside."

Weiss was discovered inside the vehicle and ordered out by the officers.

He admitted that he did not reside at the residence and the vehicle he was "filtering through" was not his.


Weiss is 41, but people noted his mugshot makes him appear much older.

People were genuinely shocked and commented on how much the actor's appearance had deteriorated in a short amount of time.

People were reminded of the destructive effects of drug addiction.




Sympathetic voices wished Weiss onto a path to recovery.




Weiss was booked into the Yuba County Jail for being under the influence of methamphetamine and for residential burglary. He is being held on a $52,500 bond.

The troubled actor had been arrested before in 2018 for being "under the influence of drugs" in Oroville, California, after which he declared he was seeking rehab.

Weiss was a prominent young actor in the early nineties, having appeared in all three of the Mighty Ducks films, starting with the 1992 original starring Emilio Estevez as the defense attorney-turned coach of a youth league hockey team.

Weiss also made appearances in TV, including Charles in Charge, Boy Meets World, Freaks and Geeks and King of Queens.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
