Global News
Zachery Ty Bryan's jail sentence stems from a 2024 arrest for driving under the influence with priors and misdemeanour of contempt of court.
Home Improvement star Zachery Ty Bryan has been sentenced to 16 months in jail following a 2024 arrest for driving under the influence.
Bryan, 44, received the sentence on Monday, stemming from the 2024 arrest by officers from La Quinta Sheriff’s Station, who were responding to a vehicle suspected of being involved in a traffic collision.
The deputies observed “indications of impairment” in Bryan, the driver, and arrested him for driving under the influence with priors. He was also booked on the misdemeanour of contempt of court.
Bryan was re-arraigned on Monday and struck a plea deal with prosecutors after he pleaded guilty to the DUI charge, People reports. He also “admitted to an enhancement related to having two prior DUI convictions.”
The actor was sentenced to 16 months in county jail with credit for 57 days served and denied probation.
Bryan’s sentencing is just the latest in a string of legal troubles for the former child star, who starred alongside Tim Allen and Jonathan Taylor Thomas on Home Improvement in the 1990s.
He is due in court in Lane County, Ore., on March 2 for a hearing regarding a probation violation stemming from July 2023, when he was arrested for felony assault after police responded to a call regarding a physical dispute at his Oregon home. A few months later, in October, he pleaded guilty to felony assault in the fourth degree and, after striking a plea deal, was sentenced to a week in jail and 36 months of supervised probation.
The judge in the sentencing ordered that he have “no contact with the victim without the probation officer’s approval, treatment for alcohol/substance abuse issues at the direction of the probation officer, and no alcohol or drugs.”
'Reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason, must furnish all the materials for our future support and defence,' the Oscar-winning actor said.
