Jesse Helt, the young homeless man who accepted the 2014 MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year on behalf of Miley Cyrus, arrived 45 minutes late Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 16, for his arraignment on a charge that he violated his probation in Oregon.

Polk County Judge Monte Campbell was just about ready to close the court calendar Tuesday when Helt's lawyer declared that his client was downstairs, according The Associated Press .

Campbell told Helt that he would need to "pack a toothbrush" if he would arrive late ever again, presumably implying that Helt would spend time in jail if he is tardy for his next hearing, Fox 12 Oregon reported.

Helt did not enter a plea, and is set to return to court on Oct. 7 for his actual probation violation hearing.

Cyrus' pal declined to speak with a reporter and flipped off a FOX 12 photographer outside the courthouse.

In 2010, Helt, who was 18 years old at the time, was arrested on charges of criminal mischief, criminal trespass and burglary. Court records show that he broke into the apartment of a man who had been selling what he believed to be bad marijuana. Helt pleaded guilty to criminal mischief and criminal trespass, both misdemeanors, and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and probation, The Associated Press reported.

He was arrested twice in 2011 for parole violations, according to the Polk County, Ore., sheriff's office. And another arrest warrant was issued in November 2011 for a new parole violation, county Community Corrections Director Martin Silbernagel told the Los Angeles Times. "He took off to California to sing, I guess, or model," Silbernagel added.

Cyrus took to Twitter to defend and support Helt last month when the news broke that he has a warrant out for his arrest in Oregon.

"People who are homeless have lived very hard lives. Jesse included," the 21-year-old "Wrecking Ball" hitmaker tweeted.

"I hope that this can be the start of a national conversation about youth homelessness and how to end it," she wrote in a following follow-up post.

"Does looking down upon the homeless help people excuse their inaction? The media never fails to disappoint. You've chosen to go after Jesse instead of covering the issue of youth homelessness. While they obsess over one homeless mans legal issue lets help the other 1.6 million homeless youth," she added in a series of tweets.
