Zachery Ty Bryan Arrested For Alleged DUI
Lane County Jail
Former child star Zachery Ty Bryan was arrested over the weekend for allegedly driving under the influence, per reports.
La Quinta, Calif., police arrested the Home Improvement star at around 2:30 a.m. Saturday on a felony DUI charge. Bryan, 42, is also facing a misdemeanor charge for contempt of court.
Bryan’s bail was set at $50,000 for the DUI charge, plus a $15,000 bail fee for the misdemeanor, per reports. He was released Saturday and is due to appear in court on April 23.
The troubled former child star has had other run-ins with the law in recent years. In 2020, as his marriage to Carly Matros was ending, Bryan was arrested for allegedly strangling Johnnie Faye Cartwright, who later became his fiancée. He was sentenced to 36 months of bench probation and ordered to participate in a program called Bridges2Safety.
Last year, Bryan was arrested and charged with fourth-degree felony assault, third-degree robbery and harassment in a domestic incident. He received a suspended sentence of 19–20 months in jail, under the terms of which he was required to spend seven days in jail, followed by 36 months of supervised probation with domestic violence conditions. He was also required to seek treatment for substance abuse issues and abstain from alcohol and drugs.
Following that arrest, Cartwright told US Weekly that she will “always want whats best for the father of my children.”
“Trauma can bring struggles in many shapes and forms,” she told the outlet. “Its a horrible situation thats going to be spun in so many ways. Ive learned firsthand the truth will never align with whats been put out there.
