Former Child Actor Zachery Ty Bryan Faces Legal Troubles: From DUI Arrest to Domestic Violence Charges
Former child actor Zachery Ty Bryan, known for his role as Brad Taylor on the sitcom Home Improvement, is facing legal troubles, including a recent DUI arrest that could result in 16 months of jail time. He pleaded guilty to driving under the influence with a high blood alcohol content and was denied probation by the judge.
Bryan has been involved in various legal issues in recent years, including a 2020 arrest for domestic violence charges related to an altercation with his partner. He also faced allegations of financial misconduct involving an agriculture technology startup, where he reportedly took investments under fraudulent circumstances.
In addition to the domestic violence and financial misconduct allegations, Bryan has been arrested multiple times for assault and DUI charges. Most recently, in January 2025, he was arrested for second-degree domestic violence in South Carolina, accused of choking and punching his partner.
These legal troubles have led to Bryan being arrested for violating probation from a previous domestic violence conviction. The former child actor's behavior has raised concerns about his actions and the impact on those around him.
