Additionally, Bryan was arrested on a DUI charge and driving without a license in Custer County, Ok., in October 2024.
He told officers that he had "too much" to drink, and admitted his expired license was a result of one of his multiple DUI arrests.
Bryan has had several run-ins with law enforcement, including in 2020 when he wasarrested for allegedly strangling his girlfriend, Johnnie Faye Cartwright, nearly to suffocation.
Most recently, in November, it was revealed that Cartwright wasreceiving a five-year restraining orderagainst the Bryan after he allegedly punched her in the head and threatened to end her life that July.
That same month, Bryan spoke out about the domestic violence report, referring to it as a "painful wake-up call."
"Fame as a child actor left scars — being thrust into the spotlight at nine years old brought pressures I wasn't equipped to handle — but that's no justification for my choices as an adult," he told TMZ, adding that he "deeply" regrets his actions.
Cartwright, meanwhile, was accused ofattempting to run Bryan overwith a truck in December.
