Adam Wylie, best known for starring on the Picket Fences for four seasons between 1992 to 1996, was allegedly arrested for shoplifting from Target in Burbank.
The former child star, 39, reportedly ‘only scanned some of the items from his cart’ at the retailer’s self-checkout area, before making a beeline to his vehicle with $108 worth of unpaid-for health and beauty products.
Upon exiting the department store, Burbank Police Department told TMZ that Wylie was met by Target’s security, who ‘recovered’ the stolen merchandise.
After police arrived, the actor, who made his acting debut at age six in the 1990 TV movie, Without Her Consent, was cited for ‘petty theft’ and released.

He has yet to publicly comment on the incident on any of his social media accounts.
Fans have already begun flooding the comment section on his Instagram to roast him for his alleged crime.
‘Did you really steal from target?’ one asked, prompting another fan to come to Wylie’s defense as she commented that the question was inappropriate and noisy.
The woman, who goes by Judi Howlett on TikTok, replied: ‘Did you really come here thinking he would answer your question? If and when he’s ready to talk, he will until then please stop bothering him.’
Still others couldn’t resist asking ‘why’ he would ‘shoplift at Target’
