MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – A 1990s sitcom star ended up behind bars in the Grand Strand.

Myrtle Beach police arrested Zachery Ty Bryan, who played eldest brother Brad Taylor on the hit TV show Home Improvement, on New Year’s Day, according to jail records.

Records show Bryan is charged with second-degree domestic violence.

A judge set bail for Bryan at $10,000. As of 11 a.m. Friday, he was still lodged at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center.

WMBF News has requested the incident report and warrants for Bryan’s case to learn more details about what led to the arrest. We are waiting to receive these documents.

This isn’t Bryan’s first brush with the law.

Bryan was arrested twice for drunk driving in 2024. The first occurred in February 2024 in La Quinta, California and the second occurred in October 2024 in Custer County, Oklahoma.

Police arrested the former child star in 2023 on charges of assault, robbery and harassment in connection with a domestic incident.

Bryan was also arrested in 2020 for domestic violence after strangling a woman who would later become his fiancée. A judge sentenced him to 36 months of “probation” and ordered him to participate in a program called “Bridges2Safety.”
