Former child actor and Home Improvement star Zachery Ty Bryan has been arrested for second degree domestic violence in South Carolina just a few months after his arrest for DUI in October 2024. The former actor was involved in a physical altercation, though the other party involved was not disclosed. Bryan is currently being held at Horry County Jail with a bond set to $10,000, adding to the legal troubles he has been facing in recent years.
This latest arrest is part of a string of legal issues Bryan has experienced, including a previous DUI arrest in 2024 and pleading guilty to felony assault in 2023 after a domestic dispute with his partner, Johnnie Faye Cartwright. The couple has faced domestic disputes in the past, including one in 2020 for which Bryan pled guilty to misdemeanor menacing and assault. Bryan was sentenced to jail time, supervised probation, and substance abuse treatment as a result of these incidents.
Despite his legal troubles, Bryan continued acting after Home Improvement ended in 1999, with appearances in various TV shows and movies. His most recent acting credit was in the 2022 series The Guardians of Justice (Will Save You!). In addition to his legal issues, Bryan has also been accused of stealing nearly $50,000 from multiple sources, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter in 2023.
