'Family Ties' Kid Busted in Bar Stool Brawl



Posted Dec 7th 2009 2:52PM by TMZ Staff

Brian Bonsall -- who played Andy on "Family Ties" -- was arrested for allegedly hitting his best friend in the face with a bar stool ... at which point cops realized Bonsall was also wanted for another crime.

According to the Colorado Daily, cops were called to a Boulder, CO apartment three times -- where Bonsall and his friend Michael Trujillo allegedly got into a heated argument -- before they finally arrested Bonsall on suspicion of beating Trujillo in the face with a piece of a broken bar stool.

According to Trujillo, the two began arguing, Trujillo asked Bonsall to take a hike, and Bonsall went ballistic.

Bonsall claims he was so drunk he doesn't remember a thing.

The former child actor has been wanted since last year after failing to appear for a hearing stemming from a 2007 assault charge -- resulting in a bench warrant out for arrest.

1. Pretty butterfly!

2. Worf is a horrible father. He was Alexander on Star Trek

More proof Worf is a failure as a klingon.

8. Well, the friend may have insulted his honor.

In which case, he would have been justified in killing him under Klingon law. Merely belaboring him with a barstool showed admirable restraint. Anyway, after a few goblets of blood wine, even the most even tempered warrior can get a little frisky.

10. Ritual combat does not involve cowardly acts with a barstool

You partake in the blood wine then engage in a fight to the death with a pointed curvy sword.

9. That kid was Alexander?

Damn, that explains alot. It's hard to find a character more hated than Wesley Crusher, but Alexander would be that character.

11. So society failed him?

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. Lip piercings and neck tattoos - yeah, he's a guy with a lot of ambition and drive.

He was so uncooperative I tried to get him fired from the modeling agency.

Obviously, I still have issues with him.
