Actor Stoney Westmoreland has been dropped from his recurring role on the Disney Channel show Andi Mack after being arrested by police in Salt Lake City, according to a Disney Channel statement.
A probable cause affidavit states Westmoreland, 48, used a dating app to chat with someone he believed to be a 13-year-old boy. The affidavit goes on to state the actor used the app to send explicit pictures and to arrange a meeting for sex.
When Westmoreland arrived at the arranged spot, he was arrested by Salt Lake City Police and members of the FBI Child Exploitation Task Force. Salt Lake City Police records show Westmoreland was arrested last week for attempting to entice, seduce or lure a minor by internet or text and is facing four counts of dealing in materials harmful to minors.
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, said the Disney Channel statement.
CNN was unable to reach Westmoreland for comment Sunday or determine whether he has retained an attorney.
Westmoreland had appeared in 38 episodes of Andi Mack as Ham Mack, the main characters grandfather. The show, entering its third season, is a coming-of-age comedy-drama following the middle-school adventures of a 13-year-old girl and her friends. The series is filmed in Utah.
Westmoreland has also appeared in eight episodes of the show Scandal as Secret Service agent Hal Rimbeau, as well as the series NCIS, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, according to IMDB.
Disney actor Stoney Westmoreland was arrested in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Considering the degenerate state of the FBI, it should be even more obvious. Maybe that's why it keeps happening!
13 YO boy = code for hooking up with an FBI agent
Will they ask for their award back now?....................
It turns out that many of the child and adult actors and producers from Disney, Nickelodeon,Comedy Central and others, that my child grew up with on TV from a span of 2002 on up, have turned out to be perverts,deviants,sexual predators and drug addicts.
Living near the Magic Kingdom and having met many Disney “cast members” over the years, I share your “shock”.
They had to terminate a pedophile both for liability and public relations reasons.
This isnt a guy you want working around kids.
Ahhhh, after two days we find out it was a boy.
I want to hear from this guys FEMALE WIFE. Sheesh.
Any man who agrees to meet a 13 year old he meets on the internet is too stupid to live.
Too bad Disney is so full of pedos that they cant clean house and leave all those mouse decorated buildings basically empty.
Best Mickey Mouse joke ever if you can do the voice.
Right? And people STILL WANT THAT PEDO FOR PRESIDENT.
“Will they ask for their award back now?”
For that group it probably got him another nomination.

Terrifically, horribly, creepy montage there!
Yet there’s a good deal more out there. How that creepy SOB avoided investigation I’ll never know.
Of course you know—it’s the team that he’s on.
Stoney, meet Paul Rubens
