Drake Bell, best known for his role on Nickelodeon’s Drake and Josh, is missing with police releasing an appeal for information amid concerns for his safety.
Daytona Police released a statement declaring the former child star "missing and endangered".
The 36-year-old, whose real name is Jared Drake Bell - was last seen driving a 2022 grey-coloured BMW at around 9:00pm on Wednesday in the area around Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, Florida, police said.
In 2020, Bell legally changed his surname to Campana, the Spanish word for “bell”.
Anyone with any information as to Bell's whereabouts is urged to contact the Daytona Beach police on (386) 671-520.
Bell recently completed a two-year probation sentence on charges he faced after he pled guilty to child endangerment in June 2021. Allegations against Bell were made by a then 19-year-old woman, who reported the actor to police in 2018, accusing him of grooming her since she was 12.
In 2016, Bell was arrested for drink-driving and he's also been accused of abuse by a woman that he was in a relationship with for five years. In 2014, Bell filed for bankruptcy.
