‘Home Improvement’ star Zachery Ty Bryan refused sobriety test before apology to cop for 'liking to drink'
CUSTER COUNTY, OKLAHOMA: Zachery Ty Bryan was arrested on Friday, October 25, in Custer County for driving under the influence. He was also reportedly not carrying a driving license at the time.
Now, new details have emerged into last week’s incident. The ‘Home Improvement’ star even refused to take a sobriety test when Trooper Kendrick Johnson asked him to do so, Fox News reported citing the dash cam footage.
He, however, went on to say “sorry” to the officer for “liking to drink” while on his way to the jail.
Zachery Ty Bryan claimed to be a ‘good dude’
The 43-year-old actor reportedly told Johnson, “I'm just a good dude, man, I don't know why everybody – I'm sorry I like to drink.”
The officer then replied, “You have zero judgment from me. Here's the deal, I got you for driving under the influence. It's a safety deal. If we were just to leave you there and we're not going to know if you're going to stay there or drive away.”
“Like you've said yourself, you're not safe to drive, but we deal with public safety,” Johnson added.
As per the dash cam footage, Bryan also told Johnson that he was "running from California right now."
He asserted, “I hate that place. So f***ing terrible.”
Zachery Ty Bryan has faced numerous arrests
This was, however, not the first time Bryan was detained for DUI as he was arrested in La Quinta, California, in February.
Sgt Wenndy Brito-Gonzalez told Fox News Digital, “Deputies assigned to the La Quinta Sheriff’s Station conducted a traffic stop in the area of Washington Street and Calle Tampico in La Quinta on a vehicle suspected of being involved in a recent traffic collision.”
“When deputies contacted the driver, they observed indications of impairment, leading to the driver’s arrest for driving under the influence with priors. The driver, later identified as 42-year-old Zachery Bryan, was booked into a Riverside County jail,” Brito-Gonzalez added.
At the time, he faced a felony for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs charge as well as a misdemeanor of ‘contempt of court’. He was sent to the John Benoit Detention Center before being released on $50,000 bail.
Not just that but the ‘Magic Island’ actor was also arrested in July last year for a physical domestic dispute between him and an unidentified female. He was slapped with two counts of assault in the fourth degree at the time.
