Police reportedly arrested Zachery Ty Bryan Saturday in Eugene, Oregon on a probation violation tied to a previous domestic violence conviction.
The “Home Improvement” star is serving a three-year probation from 2023, which doesn’t expire until October 2026. He was denied bail and will remain in jail until December 3, according to TMZ. The outlet reported that Bryan’s girlfriend, Johnnie Faye Cartwright, was also arrested Saturday and detained in the same jail.

Cartwright faces five charges including DUII, three counts of reckless endangering, and attempted first-degree assault. She’s expected to be arraigned December 1.
Bryan faced multiple charges after a drunken dispute with Cartwright in Oregon in 2020, and was ultimately convicted of menacing. He was still on probation from that alleged incident when the second occurred, according to TMZ.

The troubled star has since had a number of other run-ins with the law. Bryan was arrested on DUII charges in Oklahoma as well as South Carolina, where he was accused of assaulting and strangling Cartwright.
TMZ reported that a woman recently obtained a five-year restraining order against Bryan after accusing him of physically and verbally abusing her in July. No criminal charges have been formally filed in that case. The identity of the alleged victim was not disclosed.

Bryan spoke with TMZ just one week before the alleged November 29 arrest, and told the outlet he was on a “journey toward personal growth.” He appeared to be taking accountability for past behavior.
