April has certainly been an eventful month for former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell. On Tuesday, Drake was spotted inhaling balloons in the front seat of his car in Los Angeles, just days after news broke that his wife had filed for divorce from the 36-year-old actor.

Photographers captured Drake in his car outside his home.
As TMZ reported, there was a canister of some kind in the car with him, which would lead us to believe he was huffing nitrous oxide out of the very full balloon. Many people use this as a method of getting high, and this is not the first time that Drake has been caught doing it.
Drake seems to be going through a lot lately.
In 2021, Drake pleaded guilty to charges of attempted child endangerment after he had been caught exchanging messages with a 15-year-old girl, leading to an incident when he was determined to have "violated his duty of care and, in doing so, created a risk of harm to the victim."
Ultimately, Drake was sentenced to two years of probation and 200 hours of community service for his crime.
Earlier this month, he was reported missing.
On April 13, Daytona Beach police reported Drake missing and endangered, but he was found safe hours later, and no explanation for what happened was ever released to the public.
"We can confirm law enforcement officials are in contact and Mr. Bell is safe," a police representative said in a statement at the time.

Days later, his wife filed for divorce.
This seemed to be a particularly tough blow for Drake, who said in a tweet that he found out wife Janet Von Schmeling had officially filed for divorce after seeing the news on TMZ along with the rest of the world.
Drake and Janet share a son named Jeremy.
Here's hoping Drake is able to get the help he needs.
It appears the last few years have been pretty tumultuous ones for the troubled child star, and he seems to be going through a lot in his personal life. Hopefully, he will be able to get the help he needs, at least for his young son's sake.
