Title: 'Family Ties' cast member gets 2 years' probation
Post by: Foxy Brown on September 03, 2007, 05:20:53 PM

Brian Bonsall, who played Andy Keaton in "Family Ties," pleaded guilty to third-degree assault in a case involving his girlfriend and was sentenced to two years' probation, prosecutors said.

Three other charges against Bonsall, 25, were dismissed under a plea agreement entered on Friday. He was arrested in March after his girlfriend told police he poured an alcoholic drink on her face while she slept, put her in a choke hold and threw her onto a bed when she tried to leave.

Bonsall told investigators he pushed her down in self-defense after she cut his arm and face with a steak knife. She denied the claim and wasn't charged in the case. (http://edition.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/09/03/people.bonsall.ap/)

Its definitely messed up what he did.
Looks like its the usual scenario of a former child actor, with others who were once child actors getting into or causing trouble in some shape or form.
