Micah Beals is an actor also known as Micah Femia who was arrested in New York City after police say he vandalized the George Floyd statue in Union Square Park in October 2021. He was also arrested in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021, on a curfew violation after the pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol, records show. The NYPD says the 37-year-old Beals was charged with felony criminal mischief in the George Floyd memorial vandalism case.
=========
Beals has had previous run-ins with the law, according to online criminal records obtained by Heavy. He has prior arrests dating back to 2002 in multiple states, including his native Michigan, California and Washington state, according to the public records.
Beals was charged with driving with an expired registration plate in Kent County, Michigan, in 2002. In 2012, he was charged in that same county with malicious destruction of property. In 2014, Beals was charged in Kent County with driving without a valid license and giving false information to a police officer.
He was arrested in 2013 on a misdemeanor charge in Washington state and eventually pleaded guilty, but details of that case, including the crime he was accused of, were not immediately available. He was also arrested twice on citations in Orange County and Los Angeles County, California, but details of those cases were also not available.
===================
According to Beals IMDB page, Micah Femia was born as Micah Joel Beals. He is an actor and composer, known for Pop Star (2013), Parks and Recreation (2009) and CSI: NY (2004).
Beals is also a musician and has posted music on YouTube and elsewhere. According to his resume, he has appeared in multiple TV commercials and has acted in theater performances in New York City, Chicago and Michigan. The commercials he has appeared in include Volkswagen, McDonalds, Wal-Mart, Direct TV and public service announcements against smoking and for drug free youth.
