UPDATE: A police source now claims that Jonathan Taylor Thomas kicked a sheriff’s deputy in the stomach before his arrest.
The insider tells TMZ that Thomas was the passenger in a car that was blocking traffic, and he exited the vehicle despite warnings from officers not to do so.
Thomas allegedly struck one officer before being taken into custody on public intoxication charges.
Read on for our initial coverage of this shocking incident:
In the years since he retired from acting, Jonathan Taylor Thomas has mostly avoided the pitfalls that afflict so many former child stars.
But in the type of incident that’s become all too familiar, the Home Improvement actor and ex-teen heartthrob was detained by police this week.
Taylor was reportedly detained in California after allegedly refusing to follow instructions from law enforcement during a traffic stop.
According to multiple outlets, Thomas was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over Monday in Westlake Village, California.
At some point during the stop, the 45-year-old reportedly got out of the vehicle after deputies instructed him to remain inside.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Jonathan was “uncooperative” and resisted officers. He was also reportedly suspected of being publicly intoxicated.
Thomas was subsequently taken to the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station, where he was booked on suspicion of obstructing or resisting an officer.
Fortunately for the actor, his latest brush with the law was relatively brief.
JTT was released from custody a short time later, according to jail records. As of Wednesday, there was no indication that the incident had resulted in any more serious charges.
Jonathan has maintained a low profile since stepping away from acting, making his latest headline especially surprising for fans who remember him as one of the biggest teen stars of the 1990s.
Unlike many former child stars — including his former Home Improvement co-star Zachery Ty Bryan — Jonathan has managed to stay out of trouble.
He’s also stayed out of the spotlight, having apparently decided that Hollywood fame wasn’t for him.
He left Home Improvement before the series ended and later attended Columbia University. While he made occasional acting appearances, including several cameos on Tim Allen’s Last Man Standing, he largely kept his private life away from the public eye.
That low profile continued for years. Taylor has spotted only rarely, making a 2026 reunion with his former Home Improvement castmates something of a momumental event.
His onscreen mom, Patricia Richardson, recently shared a photo featuring Taylor and co-star Taran Noah Smith, giving fans a rare glimpse at the former sitcom brothers together again.
Now, Jonathan is back in the headlines for a very different reason.
There is currently no indication that he faces anything more serious than the reported resisting/obstructing allegation, and neither Jonathan nor a representative has publicly commented on the incident.
For someone who spent much of his adult life avoiding the Hollywood spotlight, JTT certainly found an unexpected way to step back into it.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Ree Drummond’s family is dealing with some very serious legal trouble.
The Pioneer Woman star’s 23-year-old foster son, Jamar Goff, was arrested in Alabama earlier this month and is facing several charges, including aggravated assault on a police officer.
According to court records reviewed by TMZ, Jamar was booked into Jefferson County Jail in Birmingham on September 15.
He was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance, aggravated assault on a police officer, drug paraphernalia possession and attempting to elude an officer.
His bond was reportedly set at $37,000, and Jamar remained in custody as of the latest reports. It is unclear whether he has obtained an attorney.
According to court documents, an officer was called to the University of Alabama at Birmingham campus after receiving a report about a suspicious person.
The officer allegedly found Jamar sleeping shirtless near a fountain.
When officers woke him and asked what he was doing on campus, Jamar allegedly said he was waiting for someone to arrive and sell him “ice,” which the documents identify as another term for methamphetamine.
The situation escalated after officers allegedly discovered that Jamar had an outstanding warrant.
According to the court documents, Jamar then ran from police and eventually ended up at a nearby hospital.
It was there, authorities allege, that Jamar struck an officer with an open-handed palm strike.
Police also allegedly found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in Jamar’s possession.
This is not the first time that the Drummond family has encountered legal issues. Daughter Paige Drummond was arrested for public intoxication in 2019.
For Ree, this is undoubtedly a difficult development involving someone she has publicly described as an important member of her family.
Ree and her husband, Ladd Drummond, welcomed Jamar into their family as a foster son in 2018, after he became close with their sons through football.
Ree eventually opened up about Jamar publicly, explaining that the family initially wanted to give him privacy while he adjusted to his new home.
By 2020, however, she said Jamar had become an “inextricable part” of the family.
Ree has also shared loving tributes to Jamar on social media over the years, including a 2023 birthday post in which she wrote about her hopes for his future.
“I can’t wait to watch his future unfold,” she wrote at the time. “I know it will be filled with good things. I love you, Jamar!!”
For now, Jamar will have to deal with the serious allegations against him as the legal process moves forward.
Ree’s representatives have been contacted for comment but have not yet responded.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Collin Gosselin doesn’t feel anxious about releasing his memoir.
Ahead of the premiere of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, he’s taking time to promote his book.
Someone should feel nervous, he says. It just isn’t him.
It’s not difficult to guess that he means his awful mother, Kate.
Collin Gosselin is ‘not the one that should be nervous’
Collin Gosselin is one of the stars of Season 5 of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
Yes, his infamous mother, Kate, previously appeared on the 2000s-cringe-vibes reality star mashup series in Season 1.
His memoir, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood, releases mere weeks from now.
While promoting the Season 5 premiere, he was asked if he feels “nervous” for people to read it.
Collin replied: “I mean, I’m just going to say this: I’m not the one that should be nervous.”
From context of everything from his book to the sad story of his life, it is clear that Collin is referring to his mother.
Indeed, there are reports that Kate Gosselin has been “spiraling” upon hearing that her estranged son has a memoir coming out.
The psychology of bad parents is complex and varies from ideological villains to extreme mental illness to people who have simply chosen to be monsters.
The final group — often people who may earnestly believe that they or good or that they did their best (or who truly did their best, but it was not good enough) — sometimes react especially poorly to criticism.
There are certain types of bad parents whose abuse is largely prompted by an obsession with image, especially to the public. To such a person, a child coming out with a memoir must be their greatest fear made manifest.
‘In The Shadow of Eight’ comes out in October
To be clear, Collin Gosselin has spoken publicly about many topics, from growing up on reality TV to the aspects of his childhood that were never caught on camera.
(Long ago, a video surfaced of Kate hitting him, but his descriptions make it sound like this was only one small part of growing up.)
In 2024, Collin described Kate allegedly zip-tying his hands and feet together and locking him away in the basement.
(At the time at which he spoke up, Kate declined to comment on the allegations.)
Then, when he was 12, Kate locked Collin away — no “allegedly” required — in an institution. He says that it was to cover up her abuse. She claims that it was due to alleged behavioral issues.
After two years locked away, Jon was able to finally get custody of Hannah and Collin, rescuing him from the institution and taking him home.
(Many have observed that abuse and institutionalization might both encourage someone to seek out a structured environment such as the military, though Collin’s dream of joining the Marines fell through.)
For the record, Jon’s ex, Colleen, a woman with no real incentive to speak out at all, has repeatedly shown up for Collin, defended him publicly, and expressed how proud she is of him after he spent years living in her home.
Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test Season 5 premieres on Thursday, September 24. Disgraced former congressman George Santos is on this season. Truly, a 30 Rock joke of a show.
Meanwhile, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood goes on sale on October 13.
It’s available for preorder. Society categorically failed to protect Collin when he was a child. It is our sincere hope that people will at least read his story.
