An actor known for playing 鈥淭he Flash鈥� in 鈥淛ustice League鈥� films was arrested at a Hawaii karaoke bar, where police say Ezra Miller yelled obscenities, grabbed a mic from a singing woman and lunged at a man playing darts.
Miller took issue late Sunday with people singing the Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper ballad 鈥淪hallow鈥� at a bar mostly frequented by locals in Hilo, a small town on the Big Island, Hawaii Police Assistant Chief Kenneth Quiocho said.
The song aggravated Miller, Quiocho said.
Miller, described by police as a 29-year-old visitor from Stamford, Vermont, has been the source of police calls in Hilo 10 times since March 7, Quiocho said, adding it鈥檚 not clear how long Miller has been on the island.
They were 鈥渕anini鈥� incidents 鈥� a Hawaii Pidgin term that can mean minor or small 鈥� such as filming people at a gas station, refusing to leave the sidewalk area of a restaurant and arguing with people, Quiocho said.

Miller was arrested at Margarita Village shortly after midnight Monday and charged with disorderly conduct and harassment. Miller was released after paying $500 bail.
Hours later, police escorted Miller off a Hilo property after a resident called police asking for advice about removing two houseguests from his property, Quiocho said.
According to court records, two people filed a petition Tuesday asking for a temporary restraining order against Miller for that incident.
Miller burst into their bedroom and threatened them, the petition said.
The couple鈥檚 petition accuses Miller of stealing some of their belongings, including a passport and wallet.
Miller鈥檚 agent and lawyers didn鈥檛 immediately return messages seeking comment Tuesday.
Miller, who has been credited as the first out LGBT person to play a lead role in a major superhero film, has played hyper-verbal outcasts in movies big (鈥淔antastic Beasts and Where to Find Them鈥�) and small (鈥淲e Need to Talk About Kevin鈥� and 鈥淭he Perks of Being a Wallflower鈥�).
Miller also has a key role in the upcoming 鈥淗arry Potter鈥�-universe film 鈥淔antastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.鈥�
