In April, Grease actor Eddie Deezen, who played Eugene Felsnic in the film, was arrested and charged with fourth-degree burglary, two counts of trespassing, and one count of disturbing the peace. He reportedly trespassed at a private nursing home facility several times.

Now, he is unable to stand trial after mental health issues. He is being deemed not competent and is considered a threat to himself and those around him. The 65-year-old is currently undergoing treatment at the Maryland Department of Health.

After the incident, the police said, “According to a preliminary investigation, a female opened the door and Deezen pushed his way inside. She advised Deezen made unwanted entry into the residence and almost made it into one of the residence’s rooms before they were able to get him to exit the residence. She advised Deezen then went outside but refused to leave the property, which is posted with a no trespassing sign.”

The police were also told that there have been several incidents where Eddie trespassed and left notes and items. As of now, he will remain at the Maryland Department of Health until it has been deemed Eddie is no longer dangerous.

What a sad situation. Eddie played Eugene in both the 1978 classic film Grease and its sequel Grease 2 in 1982. He has been living in Cumberland, Maryland for quite some time.
