"General Hospital" actor Tyler Christopher avoided jail after pleading guilty to two counts of public intoxication in Martinsville.

Court records say Christopher was taken to an emergency room Nov. 8 after police found him bleeding from the bridge of his nose and unsteady on his feet at a Martinsville Walgreens, 1900 S. Ohio St. An officer wrote in court records that he could also smell urine when standing five to 10 feet away from Christopher.

At the ER, court records say, police conducted a breath test that measured Christopher's alcohol content at .267, which is three times the Indiana threshold for intoxication. An officer told Christopher he would file for a warrant for his arrest.




On Christopher's birthday three days later, according to a probable-cause affidavit, police found him in the backseat of an Uber just before 6 p.m. in the 4100 block of North Foxcliff Drive West.

A Morgan County deputy wrote in the affidavit that he confirmed Christopher was intoxicated. The deputy also wrote that he located two fifths of bourbon — one of which was half empty — in the backseat, according to the affidavit.

Medical personnel told the deputy that Christopher had paperwork showing he signed himself out of a hospital earlier that evening against medical advice, according to the affidavit. Medical personnel also told the deputy Christopher had urinated on himself while in the vehicle, the affidavit says.




From Sept. 14 to Nov. 11 authorities received nine separate reports of Christopher being intoxicated, and several of those times, it was in public, according to the affidavit.

Christopher was booked into the Morgan County Jail around 8 p.m. Nov. 11, and was released Nov. 13 on his own recognizance, Sgt. Tyler Polston with the Morgan County Sheriff's Office told IndyStar.

This is really sad. Tyler is a gifted actor who brought such intensity to the role of Nikolas on GH. I truly hope he receives treatment for his addictions and gets his life & career back on track...
