Ex Family Matters/Disney Star Arrested After Heated Family Altercation & His Mugshot Is Epic

Posted On : January 18, 2018

Many of us probably remember when actor, Orlando Brown played little “3J” on the 90’s sitcom, Family Matters. He then became widely known for playing the role of “Eddie” alongside former Cosby Show actress, Raven-Symoné, in That’s So Raven. Unfortunately, once That’s So Raven ended in 2007, Orlando’s life seemed to began following the downward spiral that many former child actors succumb to. He  started having trouble with the law for drug possession, alleged domestic violence disputes, and more.

Why He Was Arrested

This go ’round, Orlando was just arrested on Thursday, January 18, 2018, for a heated altercation reportedly involving his girlfriend and his mother. The alleged incident went down at his apartment in Barstow, California, according to a police report obtained by People. The dispute happened around 8 a.m. and when the cops arrived, they took Orlando into custody for unrelated reasons:

Via People: When officers conducted a warrants check on all the individuals, they found an active arrest warrant for Brown from the Torrance Police Department stemming from charges in 2016 including an alleged battery charge, resisting a peace officer and possession of a controlled substance. Brown was booked into the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Barstow Jail for those charges. His bail was set at $25,000.

Another thing that caught our attention, is that Orlando actually looked like he was happy as hell to be in jail, based on the way he’s cheesin’ it up for the camera in his new mugshot…

It was also reported, by TMZ, that when cops arrived to Orlando’s apartment and ran a search on his girlfriend and her mother, Tanya Henson, they found that Ms. Henson had an outstanding warrant as well. Therefore, she too, was dragged right on down to the San Bernardino police station along with her daughter’s man, Orlando.

Not The First Time

Like we said, this isn’t Orlando’s first violent arrest. As we previously reported, he was arrested in 2016 for allegedly striking his girlfriend, as they stood in the parking lot of a police station. It didn’t take long before the cops, who were no more than 15 to 20 feet away from, them to slap some cuffs on Orlando. Crazy, right? Not sure what that was all about, but according to reports, he was booked on misdemeanor domestic battery, obstruction of justice and 2 felonies — drug possession with intent to sell, and having contraband in jail.

Many Speculations

Orlando Brown has always been a very talented actor. However, in recent years, he’s made some very questionable moves in his personal life. His odd interviews and admissions -including the time he talked about how he performed oral sex on his ex girlfriend, Raven Simone and ultimately claimed that he turned her into a lesbian- as well as his oftentimes odd speaking patterns have caused some to speculate that the dude needs help. Not sure what’s up with Orlando Brown these days, but hopefully this new arrest will be his last.
