Orlando Brown has been arrested on domestic violence allegations, it has been claimed.
The 35-year-old came to fame on That’s So Raven, starring as Eddie Thomas alongside Raven-Symone, Rondell Sheridan, Kyle Massey and Anneliese van der Pol.
According to reports, he was taken into custody after threatening a relative inside a property in Ohio.
They alleged that he had been going ‘crazy’ and ‘came at him with a hammer and knife in a threatening manner’.
According to an arrest report, obtained by People Magazine, the relative believed Brown ‘was going to assault him’.
They reportedly also told police that he had been staying at their home for around two weeks as he is currently ‘homeless’, and they didn’t want him to stay at a shelter instead.

He was allegedly taken into custody on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge.
The outlet reports that Brown is being held in Allen County jail on no bond – but it is unclear whether he has entered a plea.
The actor is most known for his role in the Disney series, which ran for four years from 2003.

In 2018, he made headlines after opening up about his battles with srug addiction and mental health, during an appearance on the Dr Phil Show.
His close friends begged the TV host to stage an intervention, with one stating: ‘I called in because Orlando, he has mental problems.
‘Out of nowhere he’ll say, “Michael Jackson’s my father. I own Neverland.”

‘He’s burnt so many bridges, no one wants to deal with him. If you can’t help him, he does not have a chance.’
When he appeared on the program, Brown added to McGraw: ‘Just the influence and the demons that come with that drug kind of took over.’
