Disney Star Adam Hicks Stuck In Jail Awaiting Mental Health Evaluation

Disney star Adam Hicks will remain in jail as he undergoes a mental health evaluation to determine whether he is competent enough to stand trial for armed robbery charges in California, RadarOnline.com can report exclusively.

A judge on May 10 appointed a doctor to help determine the former Zeke and Luther star’s current mental state, said Ricardo Santiago, a spokesman for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office.

S.W.A.T. officers arrested Hicks and his girlfriend, aspiring actress Danni Tamburo, on January 24 after the troubled couple were linked to a string of robberies in Burbank, Calif.

According to Burbank Police officials, Hicks allegedly held a handgun up to a 52-year-old man and demanded his wallet. As police were investigating the first robbery, three additional street robberies took place “within minutes of each other,” police officials said.

Hicks and Tamburo have been charged with three counts of felony attempted second-degree robbery and two counts of second-degree robbery. Hicks is also facing allegations that he personally used a handgun during the robbery. Prosecutors also allege both Hicks and Tamburo, 23, committed the robberies against victims who are over the age of 60, according to the criminal complaint obtained by RadarOnline.com.

Hicks remains in Men’s Central Jail in lieu of $550,000 bail, while Tamburo posted $350,000 bail on February 6, according to court records.

Tamburo is scheduled to appear in court on June 29 for an arraignment, but Hicks' arraignment remains on hold until his mental competency is determined. The Disney star will be back in court on June 22 when both sides will discuss the doctor's evaluation of Hicks competency in front a judge.

Hicks has had other run-ins with the police. On July 8, 2017, the TV star was arrested for discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, Santiago said. Hicks also was arrested on September 11, 2017 for battery. However, no charges were filed for either arrest because of insufficient evidence, Santiago said.
