Home Improvement Star Zachery Ty Bryan Arrested for the Sixth Time in 5 Years By Raven Brunner 301

Zachery Ty Bryan has been arrested for the sixth time in five years.

The Home Improvement alum, 44, was taken into police custody in Eugene, Ore., on Saturday, Nov. 29, for allegedly violating his probation from his prior domestic violence conviction, jail records show.

Bryan is currently being held without bail at Lane County Jail. He is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, Dec. 3, per the records.

The actor’s fiancée, Johnnie Faye Cartwright, was also arrested and booked at the same jail. She is facing five charges, including one count of driving under the influence, three counts of reckless endangering and one count of attempted first-degree assault, the jail records show. (Cartwright is still in custody as of Sunday, Nov. 30.)

It is unclear if Bryan or Cartwright have legal representation to comment on their behalf.

Bryan’s most recent prior arrest came in January. At the time, the actor faced charges of second-degree domestic violence from Myrtle Beach police in South Carolina.

In a police report obtained by PEOPLE, the arresting officer said a woman involved in the incident “stated that she was assaulted” by Bryan and the two “live together and have children in common.”

The woman told the officer that Bryan “choked her and punched her in the face multiple times,” and that there were “others” involved who were “inside the home during the incident.”

The woman he’d allegedly strangled was Cartwright, with whom he shares three children, daughter Kennedy and twins Parker and Sequoia.

Previously in 2024, Bryan was arrested twice on DUI charges — the first in February and the second in October.

A year prior, Bryan was charged with fourth-degree felony assault, third-degree robbery and misdemeanor harassment.

He pleaded guilty to felony assault in the fourth degree, constituting domestic violence, Lane County’s chief deputy district attorney Chris Parosa told PEOPLE at the time. Bryan was sentenced to seven days in jail.

Parosa said Bryan’s second count was dismissed as a term of a “negotiated resolution.” Instead of facing 19 to 20 months of jail time, he received a “downward dispositional departure to 36 months of supervised probation, 7 days jail, standard domestic violence conditions, no contact with the victim without the probation officer’s approval,” the district attorney explained.

Bryan’s probation sentence does not expire until October 2026, local news outlet KEZI reported.
