Ezra Miller pleads not guilty to Vermont burglary and petit larceny charges, faces 26 years in prison

• Actor Ezra Miller has pleaded not guilty to accusations that they burglarized a Vermont home.
• Miller appeared in court on Monday morning to face a burglary charge and a petit larceny charge.
• Miller's charges carry a possible jail term of up to 26 years if they are convicted, per Variety.

Ezra Miller pleaded not guilty on Monday to accusations that they burglarized a home in Vermont. 

Miller appeared in the Bennington Superior Court with their lawyer via video link on Monday morning, per Variety. The actor pleaded not guilty to felony burglary and petit larceny, two charges that carry a sentence of up to 26 years in prison if they are convicted, per the media outlet. 

Miller was granted approval by Vermont judge Kerry McDonald-Cady to remain out of jail on the condition that they do not go near the home that prosecutors allege they burgled, per the VT Digger, an independent Vermont news outlet.

The actor's charges are related to a May 1 incident in the town of Stamford, Vermont. The authorities accused Miller of breaking into a home on County Road and taking "several bottles of alcohol" from the residence, per a police press release.

Miller — known for their roles in "Fantastic Beasts" and "Perks of Being a Wallflower" — became a lightning rod for controversy this year.

They were accused in June of grooming a teen, 18-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes. The teenager's parents, Chase Iron Eyes and Sara Jumping Eagle, filed a domestic-violence protection order against the actor at the Standing Rock Sioux tribal court, accusing Miller of physical and emotional abuse. Both Miller and Tokata Iron Eyes have denied the allegations.

In late March, Miller was charged with disorderly conduct and harassment in Hawaii after they became "agitated" with people at a karaoke bar and began "yelling obscenities," the local police said.

Miller's attorney Lisa Shelkrot did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
