Zylka appeared "foaming at the mouth" and was believed to be under the influence of drugs in "some sort of excited delirium state."

The '10 Things I Hate About You' alum reportedly struggled during his arrest, requiring three officers to handcuff him. Paramedics administered ketamine to subdue Zylka on the scene before transporting him to a hospital, People reported. 

Despite initial suspicions, Zylka's drug test came back clean, however, his arrest warrant was issued after he escaped a 'police hold' from the hospital.

Detective Sgt Eric Laprocina said that charges were filed against him on December 5.
