[edit] Criminal Record
On April 7, 2009, Waylett and a friend were pulled over by police after Waylett took a photograph of the officers' car as they drove past. The officers then searched the boys' vehicle, finding a knife and eight bags of cannabis.[2] Other images on the camera led police to Waylett's mother's house, where ten additional cannabis plants were discovered being grown.
Waylett was charged a month later for possession of the drug.[3] He appeared in court on July 16 and pleaded guilty to growing the plants in his mother's home, but claimed that they were for his personal use and not for distribution.[4] On July 21, his twentieth birthday, Waylett was sentenced to 120 hours of community service.[5][6][7] Waylett had previously been accused of using cocaine in October 2006, aged 17.[8][9]
On 14 October 2011, Waylett was arrested for his alleged participation in the 2011 England riots. The Metropolitan Police charged him with "violent disorder, having an article with intent to destroy or damage property, and receiving stolen goods." Waylett was specifically accused of being in possession of a Molotov cocktail while looting a drug store in the Chalk Farm area of North London. He was also charged with cultivating cannabis after police found fifteen plants during a search of his home.[10][11]
[edit] Dismissal from the Potter Series
Waylett's fellow Harry Potter star, Joshua Herdman, announced on August 9 that Waylett would not be returning for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the final installment in the film series. Waylett's character was written out with his role in the plot taken over by Herdman's character.[12][13] Jamie lives in Camden, North London.
