"Family Ties" child star arrested

That former child star’s mugshot in the photo above is  Brian Bonsall, the little boy from the 1980s sitcom “Family Ties.” 

Bonsall was arrested during the weekend after he was accused of hitting his friend in the face with a stool.  According to a police report obtained by  Colorado Daily, his friend Micheal Trujillo told police Bonsall hit him with a broken bar stool during an argument. 

Bonsall told police they were both drinking that night, they both like drugs and they’re both bipolar.  Bonsall also told police he didn’t remember what happened that night. 

Bonsall played Michael J. Fox’s brother on “Family Ties” from 1986 to 1989.  He is currently on probation that stems from a 2007 incident in which he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend.
