GLENDALE, California (AP) -- Teen actor Haley Joel Osment, who suffered a broken rib last month when his car struck a mailbox, faces up to six months in jail on charges of driving drunk and possessing marijuana, authorities said.
The 18-year-old actor was charged Thursday with misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence, marijuana possession and driving under the influence with the special allegation of having a blood-alcohol content of .15 percent or higher. He also faces a vehicle code infraction of being under the age of 21 and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .05 or greater.
Osment's blood-alcohol level after the July 20 crash was measured at .16, twice the legal limit, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Osment was scheduled to be arraigned September 19 in Glendale Superior Court.
His attorney will work with authorities to arrange a time for the star of such films as "The Sixth Sense" and "Pay It Forward" to surrender, Robison said. The district attorney plans to request that bail be set at $15,000.
DreamWorks spokesman and family friend Marvin Levy was out of his office Thursday and did not immediately return a call for comment. He said Wednesday that Osment has recovered from his injuries and is preparing to attend college in the fall.
The actor recently finished work on the film "Home of the Giants."
"He's fine. The injuries were slight, not serious," Levy said.
Authorities said Osment was driving home alone about 1 a.m. when his 1995 Saturn hit a mailbox and flipped over.
haha He is a pothead.

Of course he's 18. Why do you think he hasn't worked in a while? Adult kid stars are just plain creepy.
that dude is 18 already....... how old was he when sixth sense came out?
well if you saw dead people wouldn't you drink too?
ANd they are going to blame the marijuana for the crash, *rolls eyes*
He made how much money from those movies and he's driving a '95 Saturn? I couldnt give a '95 Saturn away. His parents must have robbed him blind.
either that or he cant touch it till hes 21...
Why do child stars fail as adults? Because it sucks when the career is washed up at the age of 16, they have lots of money, and too much free time to think about how crappy their lives have been since making movies.
Here's hoping this was just a harmless incident and not indicative of the ever-infamous child-star curse.
