'Grease' actor Eddie Deezen deemed mentally unfit for criminal trial
Deezen is charged with assault and disorderly conduct for a run-in with his Maryland neighbors
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}‘Grease’ actor Eddie Deezen is not mentally fit for a trial and must remain in the custody of the Maryland Department of Health, according to a court order.
Deezen is facing charges relating to an April arrest for allegedly trespassing and burglarizing the neighbors at his Maryland home.
Prosecutors have since changed his charges to assault and disorderly conduct, however, according to an order obtained by TMZ on Monday.

The embattled actor first faced harassment accusations for a social media incident in 2021. He posted a lengthy rant on Facebook about a server at a local restaurant, Kara Lashbaugh. Deezen criticized her appearance and called her an "attention w----."
The woman responded with a post of her own on Twitter, however.
