AceShowbiz - Zachery Ty Bryan will be serving jail time soon, but not for too long. Months after he got arrested, the "Home Improvement" alum pleaded guilty to felony assault in the fourth degree constituting domestic violence.
By accepting this plea deal on Wednesday, October 25, the 42-year-old was also required to serve 36 months under supervised probation. In addition, he's been ordered to avoid any contact with the unnamed plaintiff. He will face 19 to 20 months in prison if he does not adhere to the terms of his probation.
"Mr. Bryan decided to accept this resolution and admit that he recklessly caused physical injury to his domestic partner," his attorney John Kolego told USA TODAY in a statement Thursday. "He accepted this resolution in an effort to get the help that the family needs and move on and not cause his family any more pain or trauma."
"I'll always want what's best for the father of my children," the 30-year-old told Us Weekly. "Trauma can bring struggles in many shapes and forms. It's a horrible situation that's going to be spun in so many ways."
Bryan was arrested on July 28. "At around 6:00 P.M. on July 28, Eugene Police received report of a physical dispute between a male and adult female at a north Eugene residence," so read a statement from the Eugene Police Department. "The dispute was reported to have occurred several hours prior and the suspect, identified as Zachery Ty Bryan, age 41, of Laguna Beach, California, had left the location."
Although the victim was not named, Bryan's fiancee, Johnnie Faye Cartwright, spoke up about his arrest. "I'll always want what's best for the father of my children," the 30-year-old told Us Weekly. "Trauma can bring struggles in many shapes and forms. It's a horrible situation that's going to be spun in so many ways."
"I've learned firsthand the truth will never align with what's been put out there," she continued. "I ask everyone to please be respectful of our privacy for the sake of the children and our families so the healing process can begin."
