That Homeless Guy Miley Cyrus Brought to the VMAs is Wanted by the Police

So, Miley Cyrus brought a date to the "MTV Video Music Awards" and had him accept an award on her behalf. This man was Jesse Helt, a homeless man whom Cyrus met at a Hollywood homeless shelter.

Helt stood on stage and gave an empassioned speech about homelessness, there was applause, the foundation that Cyrus and Helt were supporting got a ton of likes on Facebook.

But things might not end so happily for Helt, as NBC News has revealed that he's wanted by Oregon police.

Back in 2010, Helt was arrested after breaking into a drug dealer's apartment because, as Helt told police at the time, the man had sold him "bad weed." Helt, who was 22 at the time, was charged with some misdemeanor counts of trespassing and sentenced to three weeks of jail time plus probation.

The problem is, Helt broke his probation by posting on Facebook about the fact that he was smoking weed. When faced with further jail time, he skipped town in another likely probation violation.

So at this point, if Helt returns to Oregon to see his family, he'll be arrested. However, despite the fact that Helt said that he was going to use money that Cyrus gave him to fly home and see his family, he has again disappeared.

Miley responded to coverage of Helt's legal issues on Twitter today. "People who are homeless have lived very hard lives. Jesse included," she wrote. "Does looking down upon the homeless help people excuse their inaction?"

"The media never fails to disappoint," she continued. "You've chosen to go after Jesse instead of covering the issue of youth homelessness."
