Former Child Star of ‘Little Rascals’ Fame Arrested Again

The “radical Catholic extremist” lives off the grid in Arkansas.

Former child star Brandon “Bug” Hall has been arrested after missing a court appearance. Hall, who played Alfalfa Switzer in the hit 1994 comedy The Little Rascals, was charged in Ohio over a failure to appear for a court date that had been set for December 31, 2024, according to documents obtained by TMZ. Hall, 41, had received a traffic violation in October 2024 for not having liability insurance. The actor has also had roles in Safety Patrol, Charmed, 90210 and Criminal Minds. In June of 2020, Hall was arrested for inhaling the contents of an air duster can, designed to be used to clean computer keyboards. After cops arrived at a Texas hotel room, suspecting a possible overdose, Hall was charged with a misdemeanor possession for use to inhale or ingest a volatile chemical and held and released on a $1,500 bond. At the time, TMZ reported Hall’s family made the report. Hall admitted he had inhaled from the cans, which were littered across the hotel room. In an interview in January, Hall said the arrest was a wake-up call for him to leave Hollywood. He now lives off the grid in Arkansas as a “radical Catholic extremist” who took a “vow of poverty” with his wife and five children. He told the Daily Mail of quitting acting, “I didn’t want to go work some job that was basically meaningless, making widgets to entertain people or distract people.”
