Another DUI Arrest for Former Child Star
Zachery Ty Bryan, once known for his role as Brad Taylor on the popular sitcom “Home Improvement,” has found himself in legal trouble once again. The actor was arrested in Custer County, Oklahoma, for driving under the influence and operating a vehicle without a valid license. This incident marks the latest in a series of legal issues that have plagued the former child star in recent years.
According to reports, police officers discovered Bryan asleep in his vehicle before he began driving. Upon questioning, Bryan admitted to consuming excessive amounts of alcohol the night prior to his arrest. He also made a curious statement to the officers, claiming he was “running from California.” This comment raises questions about his motives and state of mind at the time of the incident.

A Pattern of Legal Troubles
This latest arrest is not an isolated incident for Bryan. In February of this year, he was arrested in California for a suspected DUI with multiple felony priors. He was released on a $50,000 bail and had a court hearing scheduled for April 23 related to that arrest. The fact that Bryan was driving with a suspended license due to previous DUI arrests shows a concerning pattern of behavior and disregard for the law.
“At the end of the day, [the police] throw a bunch of counts at you because they ultimately want you to plead to something. I could’ve fought it … but that’s more stress and drama,” Bryan said.
Bryan’s statement regarding his previous legal troubles suggests a dismissive attitude towards the charges against him. However, the mounting evidence of repeated offenses paints a picture of an individual struggling with personal issues and an apparent disregard for public safety.
The 2020 Incident: Downplayed but Serious
In 2020, Bryan faced a more serious set of charges, including menacing, assault, coercion, strangulation, harassment, and interfering with making a report after an incident involving his girlfriend. While Bryan has attempted to downplay this event, the severity of the charges cannot be ignored.
