Zachery Tyler Bryan, best known for his role as Brad Taylor on the 1990s television show Home Improvement, has been arrested once again, this time for second-degree domestic violence in South Carolina.
This is Bryan's third arrest in 18 months, following previous charges for domestic violence and driving under the influence, as the Daily Caller reports.
Police in Myrtle Beach responded to reports of a domestic disturbance on New Year’s Day. Upon arrival at the scene, officers determined that Bryan had been involved in a physical altercation, although the details surrounding the incident have not been made public.
The arrest took place at a residence in Myrtle Beach, where Bryan was taken into custody. Following the incident, he was transported to Horry County Jail, where he currently remains. His bond has been set at $10,000. Law enforcement has not disclosed whether the arrest occurred at Bryan's home or elsewhere, nor has it provided information about whether injuries were sustained or if anyone else was involved.
This marks a troubling pattern of legal issues for Bryan. In July 2023, the actor was arrested in Oregon on charges of domestic violence. Earlier in the year, he faced felony DUI charges in California, further compounding his legal troubles. Details about the circumstances surrounding his latest arrest are limited, leaving questions about what led to the physical altercation on New Year’s Day.
Bryan rose to fame during the 1990s as a star on the hit sitcom Home Improvement, on which he played the eldest son of Tim Allen’s lead character. The show earned widespread acclaim, cementing Bryan’s place in popular culture during its run.
However, his career has been overshadowed by repeated run-ins with the law. In addition to his arrests, the actor has faced criticism for his off-screen behavior, which has drawn public and media scrutiny.
As of now, Bryan remains incarcerated, and no court date has been set for his latest charge. It is unclear if he will be able to post the $10,000 bond or how the legal process will unfold.
Authorities have not released further details about the incident or whether additional charges could be brought against him.
Bryan’s prior arrests for domestic violence and DUI highlight a pattern of legal issues that have plagued the former television star. Each incident has drawn attention to his troubled personal life and raised questions about his future.
His July 2023 arrest in Oregon followed allegations of domestic violence that led to significant public and media attention. Earlier, his February 2024 DUI charge in California marked another low point in his recent history.
Fans of “Home Improvement have expressed disappointment in the actor’s repeated legal problems. His once-promising career has been marred by these incidents, leaving many to wonder if he can turn his life around.
With his latest arrest, Bryan’s future remains uncertain as he faces yet another legal battle. Observers will be watching closely to see how the court proceedings unfold and whether he can address the personal issues underlying his repeated arrests.
