The Myrtle Beach Police Department responded to the domestic issue on New Year’s Day.

His bond has been set at $10,000, according to the Horry County Sheriff’s Office website.

It wasn’t the 43-year-old’s first run-in with the law.
This latest incident marks his third time facing domestic charges, and in the last year he’s had two DUI’s, according to People.
Bryan was first arrested in 2020 after strangling his girlfriend.
After pleading guilty to two domestic violence misdemeanors, the judge sentenced Bryan to 36 months of probation.
In July 2023, police once again arrested Bryan for domestic violence in Eugene, Oregon, according to USA Today.
The Eugene Police Department had “received report of a physical dispute between a male and adult female at a north Eugene residence,” said Melinda McLaughlin, the department’s public information officer.
Bryan was charged with fourth-degree felony assault and was ultimately sentenced to seven days in jail, according to People.
Prior to the 2023 incident, The Hollywood Reporter had asked actor Tim Allen his thoughts on Bryan’s then-recent conduct.
“I don’t know what’s going on with him,” Allen said.
“Zach is a great kid who has grown into a complex man. All you can do is step aside and let somebody go through their process. At a certain point, he deviated from the guy I know to somebody who is reacting to situations that I had nothing to do with and can’t control,” the actor added.
“I don’t know what happens when people get corrupted. You just don’t know,” Allen said.
