Myrtle Beach: Former TV Star in Legal Trouble Again

A familiar face from 90s television found himself in quite the predicament in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Zachery Ty Bryan, best remembered for his role as Brad Taylor on the beloved sitcom Home Improvement, was arrested for second-degree domestic violence just as the new year rolled in. The incident took place on January 1, 2025, around 7 p.m. at his home on Monarch Drive.

The Incident

Details from the police report paint a troubling picture. The victim, who is Bryan’s partner, accused him of subjecting her to physical harm, including choking and punching her multiple times. Reports indicate she sustained visible injuries, with bruising and swelling evident particularly on the right side of her face. Such allegations are serious, and the police took them very much to heart.

In Bryan’s defense, he claimed that the altercation originated from a dispute regarding his partner’s drinking habits. He asserted that during a moment of disagreement, he merely attempted to take a bottle away from her. But after investigating the situation thoroughly, officers concluded that Bryan was the primary aggressor in the situation, leading to his arrest.

The Aftermath

After his arrest, Bryan was booked at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center around the lunchtime hour on January 2. He faced a bond of $10,000, which he managed to post later that night, allowing him to regain his freedom by January 3. This incident raises troubling questions about the life choices of someone once so beloved on a hit television show.

Family Ties

Reports indicate that Bryan lives with the victim and they share children. The situation at home, combined with their relationship dynamics, certainly makes this turn of events even more concerning. In addition, there are hints that trouble may not only be brewing in the relationship but also with their living situation as Myrtle Beach Magistrate Court has issued an eviction notice related to Bryan, although exact details remain under wraps at this time.

A Troubling History

Sadly, this isn’t the first time Zachery Ty Bryan has found himself in hot water. He has a history of legal troubles, facing DUI and domestic violence charges multiple times from 2020 through 2024. Once arrested in Oregon for allegations of strangulation and assault against a former girlfriend, he was sentenced to probation. In a subsequent case in 2023, he negotiated a plea deal in relation to felony assault. It’s clear that his path has taken quite a turn from what fans of his sitcom might’ve expected.

Concern from Peers

The fallout from Bryan’s recent troubles has drawn concern from industry insiders, including his former co-star Tim Allen. Reflecting on their past camaraderie, Allen expressed that he is alarmed by how Bryan’s life has diverged from the person he once knew.

What’s Next?

The unfolding drama has certainly piqued the interest of media and fans alike. Bryan’s next court appearance related to these serious allegations is scheduled for March 28, 2025. As the days progress, many are left wondering what the future holds for the man who once starred in a show that brought so much joy to viewers across the country. One thing is for sure, it’s no laughing matter anymore.
