The Burbank Police Department tells TMZ … Skyler was arrested and booked for petty theft on Dec. 13, when cops say he went into a Ross, grabbed some merchandise, including Nerf guns, and walked out without paying.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, cops say Ross’ loss prevention department called police to the store to report the alleged theft … and after getting a description of the suspect, whom they described as “unhoused.” Responding officers searched the area and found Skyler sitting on a nearby wall with a boatload of Nerf guns.

The Burbank City Attorney has filed one misdemeanor charge of petty theft against Skyler … and he pled not guilty in court.
