Brian Bonsall, who played Andy Keaton, younger brother to Michael J. Fox's Ales Keaton, on Family Ties in the '80s and then appeared in a handful of episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation in the '90s, was arrested in Boulder, Colorado for allegedly hitting his friend in the face with a broken stool. He now faces a third-degree assault charge for this incident. Bonsall was also charged with failure-to-appear stemming from a 2007 assault on his girlfriend. It was reported that Bonsall is being held on two bonds totaling $7500 and will be in court to address the warrant on Wednesday, December 9.

According to the arrest report, Bonsall and his friend were arguing before Bonsall allegedly assaulted the friend. That friend still claims Bonsall as his best friend and didn't want to discuss the incident with the media. However, media reports claim the friend was recovering from a concussion Monday, December, 7.

Bonsall allegedly told investigators he does not remember much of the night because he and his friend were drinking heavily. He also claimed he and the friend he attacked are bipolar and that they both like to do drugs. Bonsall allegedly claimed when he does drugs that he forgets things.

Bonsall has been arrested in the past for underage drinking and driving under the influence.
