What happened to Tylor Chase after psychiatric hold? Mighty Ducks alum Shaun Weiss shares update

After being hospitalized under a 72-hour psychiatric hold, Tylor Chase has reportedly returned to homelessness, with Shaun Weiss saying a planned detox placement never materialized.

The former Nickelodeon star was brought to the hospital last week with the assistance of LA-based businessman Jacob Harris. Per multiple reports, the Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide actor underwent an evaluation and was allegedly smoking meth during the review.

But now, Weiss has revealed that Chase was once again found on the streets. He told TMZ:

"They were supposed to hold him and then transport him to a detox facility that we had arranged. Instead, they let him out without contacting any of us."

According to the Freaks and Geeks star, Jacob Harris contacted the crisis team after Tylor Chase was found in Riverside. But as the former actor was "smoking meth during the evaluation with no shoes or jacket in the freezing cold," the team refused to take him in.

Shaun Weiss said that, while he's uncertain on how to proceed given the situation, he has been in contact with executive members of the Screen Actors Guild. He also hopes for Tylor Chase to receive assistance from a political representative and the county of Riverside.

Shaun Weiss on the support he received amid his recovery from substance addiction: "I didn't want to let anybody down"

Meanwhile, Shaun Weiss himself has struggled with addiction and homelessness.

In 2018, the Mighty Duck star entered rehab following a series of incarcerations. He was arrested again in 2020 after he was found high on meth on top of committing residential burglary.

That year, a video showed him at his lowest as he battled against substance abuse.

In 2022, Shaun Weiss confessed in a new clip that he had been sober for two years. At the same time, he was cast in the movie Jesus Revolution, which debuted in 2023.

The actor-comedian spoke on the Pod Meets World podcast last April, where he reflected on his past. According to him, his mug shot going public made it "a little easier" to seek help.

"Because first of all, it made me have to surrender earlier than I might have. Because when you have, you know, stories about you on the news and the narrative really isn't correct, there was nothing I could do about it from a jail cell. So I had to decide to surrender early on which ended up being a major benefit in the 12-step program."

Shaun Weiss also credited the "tremendous amount of support from people" for his recovery.

"That really made a difference to me. I didn't know that these movies I was in were meaningful to people. I got so many letters from people telling me that they didn't wanna go to school because they were overweight and they felt a certain way. But after seeing Heavyweights, that movie alone just made them feel okay about being heavy."

The actor continued:

"And so when I started getting this kind of support from people, and I started doing better, it became a thing where I didn't want to let anybody down."
