The Ring actress Daveigh Chase hit with drugs charge 18 months after ‘dumping dying man outside a hospital’
The former child star, now aged 28, was charged with possession of a controlled substance by cops in Los Angeles last month
A FORMER child star of horror film The Ring has been arrested on drugs charges 18 months after dumping a dying man outside a hospital.
Daveigh Chase, who played the sinister Samara in the 2002 flick, was arrested on August 6 and charged with being in possession of a controlled substance in Hollywood.
The 28-year-old spent two hours behind bars before posting £780 bail, reports.
It comes 18 months after Chase, who also voiced Lilo in Disney’s Lilo and Stich, was arrested after she left a dying man outside a hospital in Los Angeles.
Chase dumped the man in the early hours of February 15, 2017 and immediately left.
He was later pronounced dead after being found by staff.
Police sources told TMZ that Chase had been hanging out with the man in the hours before he died.
When cops ran her name they discovered an outstanding warrant and arrested her.
The arrest was due to an unrelated misdemeanour traffic warrant and nothing to do with the man's death.
Chase was not named as a suspect in the man's death with the actress saying at the time she was "merely trying to get him help at the hospital".
She had yet another brush with the law in November last year when she was allegedly caught joyriding in a stolen car.
On that occasion she was charged with felony driving without the owner’s consent.
Chase began acting at a young age with her breakout role coming in the 2001 cult classic Donnie Darko.
