'Home Improvement' star Zachery Ty Bryan allegedly choked, punched woman in domestic violence dispute

A third party called 911 and told the dispatcher Bryan had "attacked" and "tried to kill" the unknown woman.

The South Carolina police officer observed bruising and swelling on the right side of the woman's face. While she was not identified in the report, the woman stated she lived with Bryan and shared children with the actor.

Fox News Digital reached out to Bryan's representative for comment.

The former child star was released Jan. 3 on $10,000 bond, according to Horry County Sheriff's records.

One charge was later dismissed as part of a negotiated resolution. Bryan only had to serve seven days in jail instead of 19 to 20 months in the Oregon Department of Corrections.

"I'm just a good dude, man, I don't know why everybody - I'm sorry, I like to drink," Bryan told Trooper Kendrick Johnson.

Police had noticed Bryan sleeping in his Range Rover on the side of the road around 6:47 a.m. The officer parked his vehicle up the road from the actor, and a short time later Bryan drove by, according to the PC affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital.

Bryan was also arrested in California for driving while intoxicated months before.

Bryan began his career as a child, appearing in TV and print ads while he was raised in Denver, Colorado.

He landed his big break as Brad Taylor in "Home Improvement." Bryan transitioned from childhood into his teenage years with roles in TV shows such as "Cold Case," "E.R.," "Smallville" and "Veronica Mars." Eventually, he began his own production company - Lost Lane.

"At a certain point, he deviated from the guy I know to somebody who is reacting to situations that I had nothing to do with and can't control," Allen told the outlet in 2023. "I don't know what happens when people get corrupted. You just don't know."

"Zach is a great kid who has grown into a complex man. All you can do is step aside and let somebody go through their process."
