According to police, Bryan reportedly assaulted the victim, impeded her breathing, and took her phone away when she tried to call 911, the AP reported.

Bryan was arrested and booked into the Lane County Jail at 1:07 a.m. Saturday, where he remained in custody, according to booking records.

Since “Home Improvement” finished its run, Bryan has appeared in several movies, including “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,” KOIN reported.
