‘Buffy’ actor Brendon arrested on drug charges

Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum Nicholas Brendon is facing felony charges in Indiana for allegedly obtaining prescription drugs illegally and falsely informing officers of his identity.

The 50-year-old, who played loyal pal Xander Harris in the horror-fantasy series, has had several run-ins with the law in recent years. His latest culminated in an arrest last week that produced a surreal mug shot photo of the once-clean-cut TV actor.

According to the Terre Haute, Indiana, police officer’s probable cause affidavit — obtained Tuesday by The Times — Brendon was pulled over August 18 after officers noticed him driving his silver Dodge Journey erratically. The affidavit said Brendon was “sweating profusely and appeared nervous due to a visibly racing pulse on his neck and shaking hands” when he was pulled over. They later found a pill bottle in his pocket containing amphetamine tablets.
