‘Family Ties’ Star Arrested for Assaulting His Girlfriend - PIC

Here’s a pic of Brian Bonsall all grown up:

He pleaded guilty to third-degree assault, a misdemeanor. He was sentenced to 24 months of probation with the conditions that he remain sober and attend domestic violence classes.

The child star was arrested March 28 after police said he poured an alcoholic drink on girlfriend Lindsey Dunavan’s face while she slept, put his arm around her neck and threw her into a bed when she tried to leave their apartment.

During the hearing, Bonsall’s attorney, Paul McCormick, told the court Bonsall wasn’t trying to hurt his longtime girlfriend. The couple checked into rehab and have been clean for five months, McCormick said.

“When sober, they got along fine, but when loaded … both participated in a violent relationship,” he said.

How have I never seen this kid on a f’d up child actors special? From the looks of him, there’s probably enough to get the kid his very own show. Sad.
