On Dec. 27, 2012, he was arrested by police in Hollywood, CA, in the movie arcade of an adult-book store and charged with "committing a lewd act". He was booked and then released on $500 bail.
He was declared missing by his wife on May 9, 2012; it was later reported that he had checked himself into rehab.
He lived with actor-director Jacob Tierney - along with many other
struggling actors - in a rented house in Santa Monica for two and a
half years. Stahl remarked that it was like a "big actor's frat house".
