DALLAS, Ore. (AP) — The young homeless man who accompanied Miley Cyrus to the MTV Video Music Awards arrived 45 minutes late for his arraignment on a charge that he violated his probation in Oregon.

Polk County Judge Monte Campbell was just about ready to wrap up the court calendar Tuesday when Jesse Helt's lawyer announced that his client was downstairs.

Helt didn't enter a plea and he's due back in court next month. He declined to speak with a reporter and flipped off the media as he was driven away from the courthouse.

Helt gained worldwide attention last month when Cyrus let him accept her award for video of the year. It was later learned that Helt was wanted in Oregon for a probation violation stemming from a 2010 arrest.
