Home Improvement star Zachery Ty Bryan was arrested for second-degree domestic violence on New Year’s Day, marking his third arrest in 18 months.
Bryan, 43, who played Brad Taylor, the eldest of three sons on Home Improvement, was taken into custody in South Carolina after a physical fight in a Myrtle Beach residence.
Page Six reported that the actor was first detained in a holding cell at around 8:30 p.m., and was taken to the J. Reuben Long Detention Center the next day because he couldn’t make the $10,000 bail.
