Stoney Westmoreland, who plays Ham Mack on the Disney Channel tween series, was taken into custody in Utah on Friday for allegedly enticing a minor on the Internet that he believed to be 13. His alleged crimes are considered felonies. Westmoreland is also known for his recurring role as a Secret Service agent on Scandal. "Stoney Westmoreland, an actor working on the series Andi Mack, was arrested in Salt Lake City today," Disney Channel said in a statement. "Given the nature of the charges and our responsibility for the welfare of employed minors, we have released him from his recurring role and he will not be returning to work on the series which wraps production on its third season next week."

Well, if there's going to be a Season 4, it'll be totally screwed up, just like Season 3 of "Bizaardvark," and "Bunk'd."

Former "Andi Mack" Actor Jailed for Probation Violation
by Bruce Haring
January 4, 2020

Stoney Westmoreland, who played the grandfather on Disney’s "Andi Mack" before being arrested on federal charges of enticing a 13-year-old boy for sex, will spend the weekend in jail for violating terms of his probation.

“I hope you use this time to understand this is a serious situation that you’re in,” Magistrate Judge Cecilia Romero told Westmoreland. He was taken into custody Friday in Salt Lake City.

Westmoreland, 49, violated two terms of his supervised release. Pretrial officers claiimed they could not access his roommate’s room in their Los Angeles home in October and November. He also missed a September deadline to turn over his digital media.

“The court finds his behavior has implicated safety to the community, because we’re not able to get into that room,” she said. His failure on the digital media showed a “lackadaisicalness” on complying with terms of his parole.

Westmoreland is scheduled to be released from jail Sunday morning.

His trial is set to begin March 30.
