Home Improvement star Zachery Ty Bryan has been arrested for violating his probation, his sixth arrest in five years.
Bryan, 44, was taken into custody in Eugene, OR, on Nov. 29 for allegedly violating his probation from his prior domestic violence conviction, according to Lane County Jail records reviewed by TMZ. Bryan’s fiancée, Johnnie Faye Cartwright, was arrested alongside the actor and also booked at Lane County Jail.
Cartwright 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. Bryan is being held without bail, though he’s due to be released on Dec. 3. As of Nov. 30, Cartwright was still in custody.
Bryan and Cartwright Have Had Previous Legal Issues
This is the sixth time Bryan has been arrested since October 2020. His most recent arrest came in January of this year, when he was taken into custody by officers in Myrtle Beach, SC, on charges of second-degree domestic violence towards Cartwright. According to the arresting officer, Cartwright “stated that she was assaulted” by the actor, and that the two “live together and have children in common.” (Cartwright and Bryan share three children.) Cartwright further alleged 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.”
Bryan was previously arrested twice in 2024 on DUI charges—first in February, then in October. In 2023, he was charged with fourth-degree felony assault, third-degree robbery and misdemeanor harassment. He pleaded guilty to felony violence in the fourth degree, constituting domestic violence, and was sentenced to seven days in jail. In 2020, Bryan was arrested for allegedly strangling his then-girlfriend at an Oregon home. He pled guilty to two domestic violence misdemeanor charges and was sentenced to 36 months of probation.
