BOULDER, Colo.—Former “Family Ties” actor Brian Bonsall has been arrested again, this time for allegedly using marijuana in violation of the terms of his release stemming from an assault charge.
Deputies handcuffed and led 28-year-old Brian Bonsall from a courtroom Friday after he pleaded not guilty to an assault charge and a failure to report charge involving another case.
Bonsall’s defense attorney says the actor needs marijuana for headaches and has applied for a medical marijuana card through the state. Bail for his latest arrest was set at $10,000.
Bonsall is accused of repeatedly hitting a friend in the head with a broken wooden stool in December and of missing a court hearing in 2007 in another assault case.
Bonsall played the role of the youngest Keaton sibling, Andy, on the NBC sitcom starring Michael J. Fox.
