Authorities have confirmed that the 43-year-old actor is facing charges of second-degree domestic violence. This incident marks Bryan's third arrest in the past year, raising concerns about his ongoing legal troubles.
Bryan's recent arrest adds to a growing list of legal issues he has faced in recent years. In 2024 alone, he was arrested twice for alleged DUIs. Additionally, he has a history of domestic violence charges, with this most recent arrest marking his third related to such allegations.
In October of 2024, Bryan was taken into custody for driving under the influence and operating a vehicle without a valid license. Prior to that, in February of the same year, he faced charges of felony DUI and misdemeanor contempt of court.
This recent arrest is not Bryan's first encounter with the law regarding domestic violence allegations. In July 2023, he was arrested on charges of felony assault, third-degree robbery, and assault. Following this incident, he entered a guilty plea for felony assault in the fourth degree, resulting in a seven-day jail sentence and 36 months of supervised probation.
In October 2020, Bryan faced charges of felony strangulation, misdemeanor assault, and interfering with a police report. He ultimately pleaded guilty to menacing and assault in the fourth degree constituting domestic violence.
Bryan addressed the 2020 incident in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2023, downplaying the physical altercation and emphasizing the verbal nature of the dispute. He also commented on the tendency of law enforcement to overcharge individuals in such situations.
Tim Allen, Bryan's former TV father on "Home Improvement," expressed his concern and bewilderment regarding Bryan's ongoing legal troubles in the same interview with The Hollywood Reporter. He acknowledged Bryan's personal struggles and emphasized his inability to intervene in the situation.
Following his success on "Home Improvement," Bryan made appearances in various popular television series, including "ER," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Smallville," and "Veronica Mars." He also secured a supporting role in the film "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift." However, his acting career has been relatively inactive since 2009, with his last credited role being in the 2022 superhero series "The Guardians of Justice."
