‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ actor Nicholas Brendon arrested after 2nd Florida hotel incident

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Actor Nicholas Brendon faces new charges after a second disturbance at a Florida hotel.

Brendon, who has appeared on the television series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Criminal Minds,” posted $1,000 bond Saturday from the Leon County jail.

Tallahassee Police say he was charged Friday with damage to property and criminal mischief after damaging his room.

Brendon told the Tallahassee Democrat (http://on.tdo.com/1ChhmN7 ) that he took sleeping pills and then went “into a blackout.” He said he’s been dealing with depression but not taking medication. He said he would seek a doctor’s care and meet with fans Sunday at a convention.

Brendon faced similar charges after an incident last month at a Fort Lauderdale hotel. In October, Brendon said he would seek treatment after a similar arrest at an Idaho hotel.
