Skai is best known for her roles on Disney Channel sitcom Jessie and spin-off Bunk'd, both of which ended in 2018.
Last year, she was roasted for the 'Disney money running out' after she ordered her fans send her $5 to enter a 'raffle' to win a MacBook.
Fans mocked her fundraising efforts, leading Jackson to insist in a follow-up TikTok that she 'doesn't need the money' and is 'not that serious.'
She joins a growing list of former Disney stars to have brushes with the law.
Among them is former That's So Raven star Orlando Brown, who has been imprisoned several times on charges including domestic violence and burglaries.
Mitchell Musso, who starred in Hannah Montana, was also arrested last year for public intoxication and theft in Texas.
