#SHOWBIZ: Reclusive 'Home Improvement' star Jonathan Taylor Thomas detained after alleged police clash
LOS ANGELES: Former teenage heart-throb Jonathan Taylor Thomas has run into trouble with the law after a fiery encounter with police in California.
Former teen star Jonathan Taylor Thomas, 45, has been arrested in California after a police altercation, according to news.com.au. The actor, who gained fame for his role as Randy Taylor in the 1990s sitcom Home Improvement, was a passenger in a car that was pulled over by officers in Westlake Village on Monday. When Thomas attempted to exit the vehicle, police ordered him to remain inside.
However, Thomas refused to comply and disregarded their orders. Consequently, he was charged with public drunkenness and obstructing or resisting an officer. Thomas was booked at the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's station and released shortly afterward. The actor has yet to comment on the incident publicly. Thomas is not the only member of the Home Improvement cast to encounter legal issues; his former on-screen father, Tim Allen, served two years in federal prison following a 1978 drug arrest and completed probation for a drink-driving offense in 1997.
Additionally, Thomas' TV brother, Zachery Ty Bryan, has had multiple arrests in recent years, including time for domestic violence and assault.
