Nicholas Brendon (Buffy’s Xander) Charged With Police Battery And Resisting Arrest

Filed under: Arrested!

Actor Nicholas Brendon is facing a possible two-year prison sentence over charges stemming from a drunken bust-up with cops last month.

Officers were called to investigate a man causing a commotion in Venice, California, and when they arrived at the scene, Brendon, who is said to have been inebriated, allegedly refused to co-operate and ran away – forcing police to use a Taser gun on him.

The former Buffy The Vampire Slayer star was hospitalized and booked for felony vandalism after allegedly damaging property during the scuffle.

Brendon – who played vampire fighter Xander Harris – has now been charged with resisting arrest, two counts of battery against a police officer, as well as felony vandalism.

The actor is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday. If convicted, he faces two years behind bars and a $4,000 fine.
