The former child actor who starred in 1986's Flight of the Navigator has been charged in relation to a bank robbery in Canada last month.
Deleriyes Joe Cramer, 42, was arrested earlier this week, after a man entered a bank in the Canadian province of British Columbia and demanded money from the teller before fleeing on foot.
He was dressed in a disguise of a wig, a bandanna, sunglasses and dark jacket.
"Despite the fact that a disguise was used during the robbery, the suspect was quickly identified by some of our officers, who had recently dealt with [Cramer] on an unrelated matter," Constable Harrison Mohr of Sunshine Coast RCMP told Associated Press.
Cramer starred alongside a young Sarah Jessica Parker playing the role of David in the popular Disney film Flight of the Navigator when he was just 12 years old.
Using the stage name "Joey Cramer", he went on to act in the 1987 film Stone Fox before retiring from the profession as a teenager.
This is not Cramer's first run-in with the law.
As local news outlet the Coast Reporter reports, Cramer has been "in and out of court on drug and fraud related charges".
Speaking to the Coast Reporter, Cramer's childhood friend Keith Duggan said he had struggled in the same ways that many former child stars do.
"Joe was doing really good," Duggan said. "He was a movie star, a skateboarder, a good rapper. He basically had the total package. He had everything in front of him; all he had to do was keep it together. But, I guess like many child stars, who maybe don't have the coping faculties or the maturity, it was too much too soon."
