Ezra Milleris back in Los Angeles after theypleaded guilty to a misdemeanor chargein an agreement with prosecutors to drop two charges, including felony burglary.
On Monday, Miller, 30, was spotted arriving at the Los Angeles International Airport three days after the actor and their lawyer appeared at a hearing at Vermont’s Bennington County Superior Court, where Judge Kerry Ann McDonald-Cady reviewed the terms of the change-of-plea agreement and sentencing.
Rather than pursue a jury trial, Milleropted to plead guilty to misdemeanor unlawful trespass, admitting they were on the victim’s property May 1, 2022, in Stamford, Vermont, without the owner’s permission.
The felony burglary and petit larceny charges are dismissed without prejudice, meaning the case is closed if the yearlong probation is not violated. (Miller wasfacing charges after allegedly taking alcohol from a man’s homein Stamford. The actorentered not guilty pleasto the felony charges in October.)

The prosecutor said the agreement “has the benefit of ensuring the compliance with the conditions, which protect the victim, but it also allows the defendant to continue their employment as well as continue the mental health treatment. So, given all that, the victim is in support of the agreement.”
