The Daytona Beach (Florida) Police Department reported Thursday that actor Drake Bell is "missing and in danger" in a post on the social network Facebook.
He said the 36-year-old former Nickelodeon star was traveling in a gray 2022 BMW and that his last known location Wednesday before 9 p.m. was the Mailand High School area.
The artist has been in trouble with the law since the
Drake & Josh
program , as reported by the TMZ website.
He recently completed a probation process after being charged with intent to endanger minors in which he pleaded guilty.
In 2021, he was sentenced to two years probation on charges of child endangerment in connection with a minor who met him online and accused him of sexual contact after she attended his concert when she was 15, according to the local NBC News station Wesh 2.

Bell's ex-girlfriend, Melissa Lingafelt, previously accused him of verbal and physical abuse during their relationship in the late 2000s. He has denied the allegations, according to People magazine.
In 2015, he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and for allegedly abusing a woman with whom he had a five-year relationship.
In 2014 he filed for bankruptcy.
Bell married Janet Von Schmeling in 2018, with whom he has a son named Jeremy, but a source told People in January that they split late last year.
Bell started acting as a child, but was catapulted to stardom as a teenager with Nickelodeon's
The Amanda Show
and later with
Drake & Josh
, which debuted in January 2004. The last episode aired in September 2007. Bell and his co-star Josh Peck also starred in two
Drake & Josh
movies .
