Zachery Ty Bryan is facing more legal trouble.
The actor—who played Brad Taylor, son to Tim Allen’s Tim Taylor and brother to Jonathan Taylor Thomas’ Randy Taylor in Home Improvement—was arrested Oct. 25 and charged with a DUI Second Felony Offense, according to bookings records by Custer County Sheriff’s Office viewed by E! News. He was booked around 8:30 a.m. local time and was also driving without a valid driver’s license, the records noted.
Bryan—who starred on the 1990s sitcom for its entire run—was found by authorities sleeping in the back seat of a vehicle in the early hours of the morning on Oct. 25, according to booking documents obtained by TMZ.
Per the docs, the Oklahoma authorities had a short conversation with Bryan before letting him go. Shortly after, the police saw Bryan driving the vehicle and promptly pulled him over. The 43-year-old told authorities that he was intoxicated after being pulled over, the documents said, and later failed sobriety tests.

E! News has reached out to Custer County Sheriff's Office as well as Bryan’s reps but has not yet heard back.
This isn’t Bryan’s first run in with the law as of late. He was arrested in La Quinta, Calif., in February for an alleged DUI, and was released later that same day on a $50,000 bail. In 2020, The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift star, then 39, was arrested and charged with assault in the fourth degree after allegedly strangling his 27-year-old girlfriend in Eugene, Oregon, a spokesperson for the Eugene Police Department told E! News.
“An investigation found that during the dispute, Bryan is reported to have assaulted the victim, impeded her breathing, and taken the victim's phone from her when she tried to call 911,” the spokesperson told E! News at the time. “The victim declined medics. Bryan was taken into custody without incident and lodged at the Lane County Jail.”
Bryan later pleaded guilty to two charges of domestic violence: “menacing and assault in the fourth degree constituting domestic violence,” in 2021, the Lane County District Attorney told People at the time. He was sentenced to 36 months of bench probation.
