'Home Improvement' actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas detained after traffic stop in Malibu
- On Monday, actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas was detained in Westlake Village after deputies stopped the vehicle he was riding in for a suspected DUI. The 45-year-old was taken to the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station shortly after midnight.
- Authorities said Thomas "appeared intoxicated, continually exited the vehicle and approached the deputies, distracting them from their investigation." Deputies then arrested him for obstruction and public intoxication after he allegedly kicked a deputy.
- Jail records show the former "Home Improvement" star was detained for nearly 36 hours following the incident. Booking records indicate his total bail was set at $0 during the initial intake process.
- Police released Thomas on Tuesday after reclassifying the incident as a detention rather than an arrest. No formal criminal complaint has been filed, and the case now awaits review by the Ventura County District Attorney.
- Reclassifying the event as a detention may remove it from the actor's official record. The case remains under consideration by the Ventura County District Attorney, though no charges have been filed to date.
