AceShowbiz - Zachery Ty Bryan's fiancee has spoken out on his latest arrest. Johnnie Faye Cartwright issued a statement after the "Home Improvement" alum was taken into custody on domestic violence charge.
"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."
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."
"Eugene Police subsequently contacted Bryan in the area," it added. "Bryan was lodged at Lane County Jail on a charge of Assault in the Fourth Degree APA (Abuse Prevention Act)."
