Officials at the Lane County Sheriff’s Office revealed in a Facebook post that the former child actor and his fiancée, Johnnie Faye Cartwright, were placed under arrest on Saturday following an incident in the area of Fall Creek, Oregon.
Responding deputies Bryan and Cartwright, along with their three young children, were in a pickup truck. At some point, Bryan had stepped out of the vehicle, and Cartwright allegedly attempted to run him over. She crashed the pickup truck into a nearby ditch. The children were in the car at the time.
The Home Improvement alum moved out of the way in time. No one inside the pickup truck was injured in the incident.
“Deputies interviewed Bryan and Cartwright. Deputies observed signs both were impaired,” the social media post reveals.
The officials further shared, “Deputies also interviewed witnesses contacted on scene. Per a court order from a prior case, Bryan was not supposed to be in contact with Cartwright.”
After the deputies did an additional investigation into the incident, Cartwright was arrested for attempted assault in the first degree. She also received three counts of recklessly endangering and DUI.
Police also arrested Bryan for a probation violation on the original charge of assault in the fourth degree.
It was noted that the children involved in the incident were placed with a family member.
Court documents obtained by Us Weekly confirmed that both Bryan and Cartwright remained in custody as of Dec. 1. It remains unclear if either party has obtained legal representation.
