Disney star Adam Hicks was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion that he has committed at least four armed robberies in the San Fernando Valley, California area.
Hicks, who starred in the Disney XD series Zeke and Luther, and his unnamed girlfriend “would go up to people walking in the San Fernando Valley area, stick a gun in their face and demand money, cellphones and other items,” TMZ reports.
