Florida police posted a message on Facebook about Bell’s missing. It says there are concerns about his safety. The 36-year-old Bell, known from the Nickelodeon series ‘Drake & Josh’, is said to be driving a gray BMW and was the last known to have been near a school.
Bell recently ended a two-year probation after being convicted in 2021 of having sexually explicit conversations with an underage girl. He received 200 hours of community service and a suspended prison sentence. In an Instagram video, he later stressed that it was “reckless and irresponsible” that he had those conversations. “But I want to make it clear that no sexual images were sent and nothing physical happened between me and this person. It was just messages,” he said.
