The Mono County District Attorney's office on Thursday announced the misdemeanour charges against the 37-year-old actor, who starred as a child in movies The Sixth Sense and A.I.

Osment was arrested on April 8 at the Mammoth Mountain ski resort on suspicion of public intoxication, District Attorney David Anderson said in a news release.

He is due to be arraigned on July 7.

His representative did not immediately return a message seeking comment on the charges .

Osment rose to fame and received a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for starring opposite Bruce Willis in M Night Shyamalan's thriller The Sixth Sense. Two years later he starred in Steven Spielberg's A.I and has worked consistently as a voice actor since then. He also appeared in the television series The Kominsky Method and What We Do In The Shadows.

In 2006, Osment was charged with drunken driving and marijuana possession after crashing his car into a mailbox in the Los Angeles area and breaking a rib.
