Drake Bell, the star of the TV show Drake & Josh, has been arrested and charged with child endangerment.

According to sources, the 34-year-old actor, who rose to stardom on the Nickelodeon sitcom in his teens, is facing accusations of attempted child endangerment and transmitting material detrimental to juveniles.

Drake, whose real name is Jared Drake Bell, is accused of committing the crime in December 2017.

5 News He was indicted by a grand jury in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, according to a local ABC affiliate.

Drake has entered a not guilty plea and is being held on a $2,500 bond.

Bell allegedly had an inappropriate conversation with a youngster that "at times was sexual in nature," according to Fox 8 in Cleveland.

“The facts will be revealed in the courtroom,” his lawyer added.

In 2009, he was also charged with a DUI in San Diego.
