Zachery Ty Bryan Arrested for Probation Violation

Zachery Ty Bryan, best known for his role as Brad Taylor on the 1990s sitcom Home Improvement, was arrested Saturday in Eugene, Oregon, for violating the terms of his probation stemming from a prior domestic violence conviction. The 44-year-old actor is being held without bail at the Lane County Jail and is scheduled for release on Wednesday, according to jail records.

Bryan remains on a three-year probation sentence imposed in October 2023 after he pleaded guilty to fourth-degree felony assault in connection with a July 2023 incident in Oregon. That probation, which expires in October 2026, prohibits unauthorized contact with the victim from the case. Details of the specific violation leading to Saturday's arrest were not immediately available from jail records, and it could not be determined whether Bryan has retained legal counsel.

Bryan's fiancée, Johnnie Faye Cartwright, was also taken into custody during the same incident. She faces five charges, including driving under the influence, three counts of reckless endangerment, and attempted first-degree assault. Court records indicate her arraignment is set for Monday.
