21 Mar
Summary
- Zachery Ty Bryan received a 16-month jail sentence for DUI.
- He was given an additional 19 months for probation violation.
- The probation violation stemmed from contact with his fiancée.
Former child star Zachery Ty Bryan, known for his role on 'Home Improvement,' is now facing a combined sentence of 35 months in jail. Bryan was initially arrested in 2024 for driving under the influence (DUI), which led to a 16-month jail term.
While incarcerated for the initial sentence, Bryan appeared virtually in court in Oregon to address a probation violation. He pleaded guilty to this violation, resulting in an additional 19-month jail sentence.
The probation violation originated from a reckless endangerment call. Bryan and his fiancée, Johnnie Faye Cartwright, were found with their three children in a truck. This incident occurred despite Bryan being prohibited from contacting Cartwright due to a prior domestic violence incident.
His attorney expressed disappointment with the judge's decision, calling the sentence excessive and highlighting Bryan's struggles with alcohol and past trauma. The attorney argued that jail time would not be a constructive solution and that Bryan needs help for his drinking problem.
