The former child star was arrested on April 8 during a visit at the Mammoth Mountain Resort, TMZ first reported. He could be seen smiling in a mugshot first obtained by People taken after the incident.
The Mono County district attorney is now reportedly deciding whether or not to prosecute Osment’s case.
The Mono County Sheriff’s Office and Osment’s representatives did not immediately respond to the Daily Beast’s request for comment.
