Drake Bell Missing Case Was Far More Serious, According to Police
The police report paints a much more dire picture of Bell's disappearance's circumstances, per ET.
After being reported missing for hours, Drake Bell was found safe and sound, but he played down the seriousness of the situation.
After a "falling out" with his wife, the former Nickelodeon star may have attempted suicide, according to the police.
An officer from the Orlando Police Department was overheard on a 911 recording telling a dispatcher from the Volusia County Sheriff's Department in Florida that Bell had texted his family in California that he was going to "get drunk and hang himself" in a hotel room in Orlando due to a "falling out" with his wife.
Police believe they were given authority to ping Drake's phone to determine his whereabouts, according to the 911 recording acquired by ET.
The audio suggests that police were attempting to locate Bell precisely after receiving his coordinates. The "endangered" person is named Jared Drake Bell in the 911 call.
The police officer informs the dispatcher that he has been in contact with his "soon-to-be ex-wife in Buena Park, California," and his family in Huntington Beach.
Drake Bell Has Several Encounters with Authorities
Former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell has appeared on "The Amanda Show" (1999-2002), "iCarly" (2007-2012), and "Drake and Josh" (2004-2007).
Later it came out that the actor had racked up more than $1.5 million in debt, showing that the riches he acquired from the famous programs were already gone.
Legal issues and rumors of substance usage followed the public airing of his financial woes, further accelerating the downward trajectory of his life.
Years before the Drake Bell missing case, the actor was apprehended twice for DUI. His ex-girlfriends also said he was physically and verbally abusive.
Bell was also accused of sending "inappropriate" texts to a 15-year-old girl when he was 31 and had fallouts with some of his friends.
After entering a guilty plea to driving under the influence charges, Bell was given a four-day jail term and four years of probation and was mandated to attend an alcohol education program.
Drake Bell was born in California in June 1986. His father, Robin Dodson, was a professional billiards player.
Dodson encouraged him to follow his passion for acting. His first commercial, for "Whirlpool Home Appliances," aired on television when he was just five years old.
His first TV role was in an episode of "Home Improvement," which aired in 1994 and marked his debut.
Bell then appeared in the 1996 film "Jerry Maguire" and an episode of the popular television series "Seinfeld." He appeared in the 1998 episode "The Fogger."
Bell's career took off in 2004 when he got the lead part in "Drake & Josh," a Nickelodeon show named after him.
