Rudy Youngblood: From Hollywood to Handcuffs

Rudy Youngblood, the actor who brought Jaguar Paw to life in "Apocalypto, " is back in the headlines, but not for his acting chops. This time, it's for a run-in with the law. He was recently taken into custody in Texas on a drug charge. The warrant for his arrest was issued in Bell County, and he's currently being held in the Henderson County jail. The charge? Possession of a controlled substance. We're talking about a felony here, with a potential sentence of up to two years behind bars and a hefty fine of $10, 000. As of now, he's still in custody, and the arresting agency hasn't provided any further details.This isn't Youngblood's first brush with the law. Back in 2025, he was arrested for assaulting a family member, and in 2017, he was picked up for disorderly intoxication in Miami. The latter charges were eventually dropped, but it's clear that Youngblood has had his share of legal troubles. Despite these issues, Youngblood has had a decent career in Hollywood. Besides "Apocalypto, " he's appeared in films like "The Haunting of Hell Hole Mine" and "Dandelion Season. " It's a reminder that even those in the spotlight can face real-life challenges. It's a tough situation, and it raises questions about the pressures of fame and the struggles that can come with it. It's a stark contrast to the on-screen heroics that Youngblood is known for.
