Actor Bug Hall , who is best known for playing Alfalfa in the 1994 film The Little Rascals, was arrested Saturday in Weatherford, Texas, after police received a call about a possible overdose.

Police told TMZ a member of Halls family called asking for a status check on the 35-year-old actor, who was reportedly staying in a local hotel. The person who placed the call spotted Hall huffing, or inhaling, something near a hotel dumpster and feared he might have overdosed, a police spokesperson told Page Six .

Officers said when the actor opened the door, they noticed a large number of cans of air duster typically used for blasting debris from computer keyboards all over the room.

Hall, whose real name is Brandon Bug Hall-Barnett, admitted he had been inhaling from the cans, according to TMZs report. He apparently didnt require medical treatment.

Hall was charged with misdemeanor possession for use to inhale or ingest a volatile chemical, according to Fox News. He was released Sunday from the Parker County Jail after posting a $1,500 surety bond.

Air duster huffing can cause life-threatening injury, including rapid airway compromise, according to a 2015 peer-reviewed study documenting one mans recovery from what appeared to be a combination of frostbite and rapid swelling called angioedema.
