Drake & Josh star Drake Bell has made light of the situation after briefly being reported missing and endangered by Florida police.
The Daytona Beach Police Department posted an alert on their Facebook page on Thursday (13 April) saying the former Nickelodeon star – real name Jared Bell – was “considered missing and endangered”.
Soon after the post was shared, the police confirmed it was in contact with Bell and that he was safe.
