‘Little Rascals’ Star Bug Hall Arrested Again as Former Child Actor Faces New Legal Trouble in Ohio

Brandon “Bug” Hall, known for his starring role as Alfalfa Switzer in the 1994 comedy The Little Rascals, has been arrested.

The actor was charged in Ohio with failure to appear for a court date from December 31, 2024, according to documents obtained by TMZ. He had previously received a traffic citation on October 29, 2024, for not having liability insurance.

Hall has also appeared in films and TV shows including Get a Clue, The Stupids, Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves, Arachnoquake, CSI: Miami, and Save My Life: Boston Trauma.

This is not Hall’s first run-in with the law. The 41-year-old was previously arrested in June of 2020 in Texas, after police responded to calls for a “status check” for a possible “overdose poisoning,” according to a police report.

Hall was allegedly inhaling an air duster, often used to clean computers, printers, and other electronic equipment.

Police records show that he was placed under arrest for possession for use to inhale or ingest a volatile chemical. Hall was transported to a local county jail and held on a $1,500 surety bond before being bonded out on June 21, 2020.

At the time, the Weatherford Police Department told TMZ that one of his family members called police to check on him.

The Little Rascals star has been living off-grid in Arkansas as a “radical Catholic extremist” under “a vow of poverty” with his wife and children, the Daily Mail reported in January 2026.

“My goal is to maintain a life as free of any need for an income as possible,” he told the outlet. “If there’s a financial need that comes up, I’ll go take some work or do an odd job, for cash to fulfill that need.”

He claimed he donated the money he made as a child star as part of his religious pledge.

He said he decided to quit Hollywood because he did not want to live a life of “manipulation, of other people, in how I speak to them, in the stuff that I make or produce… including myself, as an addict."

‘I didn’t want to go work some job that was basically meaningless, making widgets to entertain people or distract people,” Hall told the Daily Mail.

He currently describes himself on X as a “self-canceled Emmy nominee, patriarch of six and a medieval moralist.”
