Zachery Ty Bryan has been taken into custody … as authorities reportedly charged the ex-“Home Improvement” actor with DUI and operating a vehicle without a license — with the entirety of the incident recorded by police cameras.
As per the arrest documents, the erstwhile child star was engaged by police in Oklahoma around 6:47 AM on Friday … when authorities reported that they discovered Bryan deeply asleep in the rear seat.
Authorities claimed they had a quick chat with Bryan before leaving him to rest … but later observed him driving. At that moment, cops executed a traffic stop, pulling him over where he admitted to the officer that he had been drinking.
Watch the footage, acquired by TMZ, where officers inquire Zachery when he ceased drinking the previous night … and, you can distinctly hear him stating on record that he doesn’t believe he ever truly stopped drinking.
Authorities subsequently extracted him from the vehicle and conducted field sobriety assessments … which they noted in the report that ZTB failed miserable — and this is also documented via the dashcam footage.
Authorities inquired Bryan where he positioned himself on a sobriety scale from 0 to 10 … and claimed Zachery stated he was at a five — at which point they proceeded to arrest him. The documentation reveals Zachery declined the breath analyzer at the scene.
Bryan was officially processed at the Custer County Jail just after 8:30 AM Friday morning.
This isn’t the first encounter with the law for Zachery. The “Home Improvement” actor has a history of DUI arrests on his record.
We have reached out to him regarding this incident … but have not yet received a response.
