Osment, 18, could face six months in prison if convicted of the charges which came about after he crashed his car in Los Angeles in July this year.

The actor, famed for his role in 1999 film The Sixth Sense, broke a rib and hurt his shoulder in the accident.

A spokeswoman for the actor was not available for comment. Osment will appear in court on 19 September.

Prosecutors charged Osment with possession of marijuana while driving and having a blood alcohol level higher than 0.08 percent, including a special allegation of having a level higher than 0.15 percent, said Deputy District Attorney Ed Green.

Osment achieved fame when he was nominated for an Academy Award at the age of 11 for best supporting actor, for his role in The Sixth Sense.

He also appeared in Steven Spielberg's AI and alongside Oscar-winner Kevin Spacey in Pay It Forward.

He will next appear in the sports drama Home of the Giants, where he plays a high school journalist following a basketball team's journey to the state championship.

We're all about the DUIs in Hollywood lately. And Osment is underage..
