Nickelodeon star Drake Bell was spotted inhaling balloons with his child in the car during the trial period

Disgraced Nickelodeon star Drake Bell was spotted sucking on inflated balloons in his car outside a Los Angeles smoke shop while his son sat in the back seat, despite serving a two-year probation for child harm.

Bell, 36, best known for his roles on Drake & Josh and The Amanda Show, appeared to be puffing on a balloon in the front seat of his parked car last Thursday.

He was wearing a basketball hat and sunglasses as he managed to inflate and deflate the pink balloon from his car before going into the smoke shop and leaving with an item in a black plastic bag. He then climbed back into his black sedan and sucked on a blue balloon for almost 15 minutes.

The star was later seen taking his young son out the back.

It is unclear what substance was in the balloons.

The incident comes as Bell, born Jared “Drake” Bell, continues to serve a two-year suspended sentence for endangering a girl’s well-being when she was only 15 years old.

The former child star was sentenced to two years probation and 200 hours of community service in July 2021 after pleading guilty to child endangerment charges.

Authorities said a 15-year-old girl attended one of Bell’s concerts in Cleveland in 2017 and contacted Toronto police in October 2018 about sexual assault allegations.

Toronto authorities then forwarded their findings to the Cleveland Police Department, prompting an investigation.

They found that Bell and the girl had “formed a relationship” online prior to the concert, during which Bell sent the girl “inappropriate social media messages.”

He was later charged with attempted endangerment of a child for “breaching his duty of care” and putting the victim at risk of harm, said then-Cuyahoga Attorney General Tyler Sinclair.

Bell had been sentenced to two years probation and 200 hours of community service for child harm in connection with a girl who met him online and attended one of his concerts in Ohio when she was 15 (pictured in his June 2021 mugshot).

But things heated up during his virtual sentencing last year, when the victim read her effects statement and claimed she performed oral sex on the star when she was 15.

“These are crimes that are unforgivable and inexcusable,” she said. “They cannot be taken back. He calculated, he exploited me and sexually abused me. He is a monster and a danger to children.

“I kindly ask you to send a strong message that these crimes are never okay, no matter who a person is,” the victim continued.

She continued, “And he can give me as many looks as he wants, but he knows exactly what I’m talking about.”

Despite the victim’s claims, he had not been charged with more serious crimes such as sexual assault and paedophilia

“He’s the epitome of evil,” she said. “I deserve better than being used for his sick desires and using my suffering for his amusement. Jared Drake Bell is a pedophile and that is his legacy.”

He seemed visibly shocked by the allegation and in response the victim turned to him directly and said, “Don’t look at me like that!”

Bell then addressed the court himself, saying, “I just want to say today that I accept that objection because my conduct was wrong.”

“I took this matter very, very seriously,” he added. “I just want to apologize to her and anyone else who may have been affected by my actions.”

The Nickelodeon star had pleaded guilty just a month earlier to the felony attempted child endangerment and a misdemeanor charge of distributing harmful substances to minors.

And during his sentencing, his attorney ensured he had not been charged with the more serious crimes of sexual assault and pedophilia that the victim alleged in her impact statement.

Months later, Bell tried to downplay his beliefs in a creeping Instagram video.

“Most of the news that you’ve heard lately is completely false and false,” he said.

“I think you deserve an explanation, and I owe it to you,” he went on. ‘I haven’t changed my name.’

“Although I would like to, I have never moved to Mexico, I have never been a resident or a citizen of Mexico. I don’t have a Mexican passport. I wasn’t arrested, I didn’t go to jail.’

The Josh & Drake star had started his video with Spanish subs by clarifying that his name was Drake Bell and not Drake Campana, despite his name showing as “Drake Campana” on his Instagram bio.

Drake’s real name is Jared Drake Bell, but he shared a picture of a Mexican ID card with the name Drake Campana (Spanish for Bell) in November 2019, suggesting he had moved to the country.

He also appeared to rebrand himself as a Spanish-speaking artist, releasing an album in Spanish in 2020, and his social media posts are currently in a mix of Spanish and English.

Bell continued, “I know it was very quick for you, but for me it’s been a three-year thorough investigation into every false claim that has been made.”

“And I’m not telling you the claims are false, but the state of Ohio has proven the claims to be false.

“If these claims were even remotely true, my situation would be very different. I wouldn’t be here at home with my wife and son.’

He continued, “But other than that, I’m not perfect and I make mistakes.”

“I was replying to a fan whose age I didn’t know, but when I became aware of his age all conversations and communications stopped.”

The I Know singer continued, “This person continued to come to shows and pay for meet and greets while I was unaware that this was the same person I communicated with online and to that I plead guilty.

“They were reckless and irresponsible text messages. I want to clarify that there was no sexual imagery, nothing physical between me and this person.’

He added: “I have not been accused of anything physical. I was not charged with distributing their pictures or anything like that. This was exclusively via text messages.

“And when I was presented with a plea as a result of the news, I felt like that’s the best way to get this over with quickly and for everyone involved to be able to move on. And so I can get back to doing what I love, and that’s making music for you.

“I want to thank you, for example, everyone who saw through the lies and researched and looked at my case and saw it for what it was instead of all this media confusion.”

He concluded: “Don’t believe the media right away. It’s a lot of clickbait. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions. I just want to say thank you to everyone who stuck by me. I love you and I will see you soon.’

The former child star had previously run into trouble with the law after being sentenced to four days in prison for drunk driving in 2015, which was his second DUI conviction in six years.
