Riverside Police confirm no criminal issues
Police stressed that Chase is not wanted for any crimes and has no outstanding warrants. “It’s worth noting Tylor is not wanted for any crimes, and police have not spoken with his family,” authorities said. Officers also described his behavior during encounters as calm and respectful. “In all contacts with him he was polite and cooperative with officers,” the department noted.
While some unhoused individuals may respond with anger or hostility, police say Chase’s demeanor is different. “While some unhoused individuals meet officers with anger or hostility, we’re told Tylor is cooperative and always cordial.” Officers continue to check on his well-being but emphasize that accepting help remains voluntary unless there is a safety concern.
Here’s what police say about the viral videos and public concern
Chase’s situation gained wider attention after videos of him appearing disheveled on the streets of Riverside circulated on social media. The clips sparked concern among fans of Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide. Police said they made Chase aware of the viral videos and that he had no issue with them being shared.
In one widely shared video, a passerby asked if he was from the Disney Channel. Chase replied, “Nickelodeon, I was on ‘Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide.’”
The news prompted reactions from former co-stars and fellow child actors. Lindsey Shaw, Devon Werkheiser, and Danielle Curtis Lee expressed concern on a podcast, calling the situation “shocking and heartbreaking.” Mighty Ducks actor Shaun Weiss, who has spoken publicly about his own struggles and recovery, reportedly offered Chase a bed at a San Clemente recovery facility he works with.
