Home Improvement Star Faces Extended Jail Time
21 Mar
Summary
- Zachery Ty Bryan received a 19-month sentence in Oregon.
- He is currently serving a 16-month term in California for a DUI.
- Bryan violated probation multiple times across three states.
Zachery Ty Bryan, formerly of Home Improvement, received a 19-month jail sentence in Oregon on March 21, 2026, for violating his parole. This new sentence is being served while Bryan is already incarcerated in California, serving a 16-month term for a 2024 DUI conviction. The actor's probation stemmed from a 2023 domestic violence conviction and prohibited him from alcohol, leaving the area, new crimes, or contacting his victim.
However, Bryan was arrested five times in three states, indicating repeated parole violations. His attorney, John Kolego, criticized the Oregon judge's sentence as excessive and a poor use of resources, arguing that Bryan has an alcohol problem that requires treatment rather than jail time. Kolego mentioned that Bryan expressed remorse and a desire to be a better father.
Bryan's legal issues extend to Oklahoma, where he faces DUI charges and potential extradition after completing his California sentence. His prior DUI convictions, including one in February 2026 resulting in a 16-month sentence, complicated his legal standing. Bryan has attributed his adult legal troubles to the lasting effects of childhood fame and addiction.
