"Harry Potter" Star Jamie Waylett Arrested On Bomb Charge

He's known for his bullish ways on-screen, but now "Harry Potter" star Jamie Waylett has been accused of something strikingly more sinister off the camera - having been arrested for carrying a homemade bomb he allegedly planned to use in the London riots.

According to reports, the 22-year-old was identified as one of the rioters causing civil unrest and property damage that came with last summer's protests in the UK.

Charged under the lands Criminal Damage Act, Jamie was reportedly armed with a "petrol bomb" while looting champagne from an area store on August 8.

Taken into custody back on September 20, Waylett has since been released as is expected to return to court on November 10.

Additionally, during authorities investigation of the charges against him, police say they found 15 marijuana plants in the actor's home.
