Eddie Deezen has been found incompetent for standing trial for allegedly burglarizing a nursing home.

The news was reported by TMZ, which obtained the commitment order stating that the actor is not eligible to stand trial because of his distorted mental health.

The Grease star has been transferred to the Maryland Department of Health for treatment.

The document says he’s considered a danger to himself and others around him.

They urged Deezen will have no choice but to stay in the health department’s care until the court believes he no longer poses a threat.

Deezen had been charged with fourth-degree burglary, 2 counts of trespassing, and one count of disturbing the peace after he pushed his way into a privately owned nursing facility in April, refusing to leave after a woman told him to scram.

However, the latest docs show prosecutors changed the charges to assault and disorderly conduct.
