Oregon police arrested “Home Improvement” actor Zachery Ty Bryan over the Thanksgiving weekend, adding to his years-long legal troubles.The Lane County Sheriff’s office confirmed the 44-year-old former child star’s arrest in a Facebook statement shared Monday.
Law enforcement arrested Bryan and and his fiancée, Johnnie Faye Cartwright, on Saturday around 12:30 p.m.after officers responded to a report of reckless endangerment near a popular camping site about 30 miles from Eugene, the statement said.
The couple was traveling in a pickup truck with their three small children when, at one point, the actor exited the vehicle and started walking on the road.Cartwright, 32, allegedly “attempted to run over Bryan, crashing the truck with the children inside into the ditch,” according to the statement.
Bryan moved out of the way, and no one inside the car was injured.Television Reflecting 25 years after the ‘Home Improvement’ finale, the actor says there’s a reason the sitcom that co-starred Tim Allen isn’t part of the ’90s nostalgia wave: ‘It’s about his politics.’Deputies spoke to Bryan and Cartwright and “observed signs both were impaired,” the statement added.
