Zachery Ty Bryan is headed to jail for 16 months stemming from a 2024 DUI arrest -- and this time, he’s not walking away with probation.
Link to post since mbin is a little... broken right now.
It's a shame he wasn't dealing and could turn in his friends to beat jail like the old man.
Over .15 BAC (more than twice the legal limit) and his third DUI
It's a ten year felony on the third offense in my state, I met a guy that later got sent to prison for years for it, a painter or something like that in a rural area, very nazi ish law enforcement up there, and that's lifetime count on the dui's.
As to the legal limits, .15 is not that high, legal limits used to be more like .12, but the feds refused highway sharing money with states if they didn't drop it to .08, as they were on their kick to make sure the police could find something to take down anyone that works for a living for one reason or another.
The feds also forced states to up their drinking ages to 21 refusing highway money to states that didn't up it from 18 or whatever. Louisiana was the last hold out and didn't do it until around 2001 or so, and their highways were shit because of it.
The feds don't have the authority to do most of what they do, and they got their foot in the door with money, because of their income taxes they've enough money to be able to use that to get the States, which by the constitution have a lot more power that the feds have now ursurped, to surrender it to them.
We are led to support the strong federal government because the south was all states rights to support slavery, and has since used cynical arguments when it served them for states rights, even as they repudiated them as often as not.
But the federal government is a monster that must be put back on it's leash, as could not be more clear. I digress though, no one thinks people should be driving drunk, I am just making the point, that .12 for generations was the standard, in some states. Different people have different tolerances due to genetic differences, and the limits are geared towards those with low tolerance to alcohol.
The larger problem is why we are completely reliant on vehicles, that we cannot even enjoy more than two drinks on the town and legally go home. There must be better ways, fuck cars.
Sounds like he’s pretty deep into addiction. He might be someone that could benefit from something like a disulfiram implant. Anytime you drink you get physically sick and risk a trip to the ER to get your stomach pumped.
When I was struggling with alcoholism, I hit a low point and ended up having to move back in with my parents. They made me start taking that, "antabuse" stuff. It, uh, didn't work. I'd continue drinking with it, and the only thing that would happen is I would break out in giant red splotches. Never got sick from it. Didn't do a damn thing.
What DID help, was living in a safe space with my wife, far away, with access to weed. Living in that supportive helpful environment was the trick that finally lead me to realize "ya know, if ever there was a future where I lost all of this great stuff I have going for me, surely it would be the future where I keep drinking." For some reason getting high always helps me put things in perspective and process trauma, and dang if it didn't end up working that day. I went from drinking a bottle of bourbon a day, to nothing. Sober now almost 7 years. I owe it all to my (now ex)wife and my ability to use weed without police fucking me over for it.
I’m just some random on the internet, but I’m proud you kicked the habit! well done!
gets a slap on the wrist until he kills someone, then it's "welp, it was an accident".
from the article:
“Court docs show Bryan also admitted to having two prior DUI convictions, putting him in even hotter water. If he ever gets hit with a fourth, the penalties only get harsher.”
There is the problem right there. How many chances do those with DUI charges deserve? It’s just more passes for them to seriously hurt or kill someone.
We know that it's his third DUI case in a courtroom, but how many times did he actually sit behind the wheel shitfaced? I'd assume dozens, if not hundreds of times with varying degrees of alcohol related impairment.
Oh most definitely.
What are you using to post links? This is at least the second post of yours I've seen that isn't a link, just a picture.
I'm on mbin. Maybe it's an mbin bug. I use the web interface. I have no clue what's going on :/ I have attached a screenshot. Note the (www.tmz.com) link. i think i'll dump mbin. i dunno why it's doing this.
that's really really weird. strange :/
FWIW, the mbin devs know about it. just found this: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/1940
You should add the link manually to the post. Because right now this is just an image post and it's weird.
oh, woops. forgot lol. post edited now :)
Huh, this guy was my neighbor when I was a kid. I remember being really excited when we learned he was going to be on TV. Really sad to see where he’s ended up.
Seems like most children who get sucked into the tv/movie industry end up completely insane nightmares later in life, assuming they live long which a lot of them traditionally have not.
They get exposed to Hollywood’s party/drug culture very early, that’s for sure. But I think the home environment is the most critical factor. If you’ve got psycho parents who are trying to live vicariously through you or simply see you as a cash cow, they’re going to fuck you up way more than Hollywood can.
Also, there’s something to be said for the psychological impact of becoming successful, having your “15 minutes of fame,” and then fading into obscurity. That’s got to mess with your self-esteem big time.
alot of celebrities either get addicted to alochol, cocaine, or prescription drugs and od form some of them.
At least he'll improve his home by being away from it for a year
What an idiot. He’ll be right back in there soon enough.
TBF, anyone that drink drives is a bloody idiot. Fame doesn't change that
I’m guessing he’s an alcoholic, which is a real shame but also not surprising given that he’s a former child star. Unsurprising but altogether quite sad.
most likely. Also, yeah, there aren't many child stars who DON'T go off the deep end :/. Really sad
Agreed, for sure. And this is his third DUI. At what point do we say enough, before he ends up killing someone?
I don't know my ex step dad got a year in prison after his 3rd DUI, when he got out he couldn't drive CDL for 10 years (the length of his probation) he stop drinking altogether.
I’m really glad that he stopped drinking. Hopefully it improves his overall health, too.
The toolman is not going to be happy about this
Fuck him, but tool man needs to get extra fucked. Fuck that stupid asshole piece of shit.
Entitled prick.
Yikes, the guy looks like a drug junkie in his photos, I'm guessing he has bigger problems than alcoholism
