Miller is having to face a felony charge of burglary in an occupied dwelling and a misdemeanour charge of petty larceny.

Their lawyer accepted the conditions that her client can not contact the homeowner or go to the residence.

Vermont Police responded to the burglary complaint in Stamford on 1 May this year, and found that several bottles of alcohol had been taken while the homeowner was away.

The homeowner, who has lived in the town for a year and a half, told police that he had been friends with the actor for about 18 years.

On top of this, the 30-year-old was arrested twice in Hawaii this year, for disorderly conduct and harassment at a karaoke bar.

They pled no contest to the assault charge and paid a $500 fine, whilst the harassment charge was later dismissed.
