Previous Incidents

Bryan's last arrest occurred in January 2024, when he was charged with second-degree domestic violence by Myrtle Beach police in South Carolina. Police reports indicated that the incident involved a woman who stated she had been assaulted by Bryan. The woman, identified as Cartwright, claimed Bryan had choked and struck her multiple times in the presence of others. Bryan and Cartwright share three children: daughter Kennedy and twins Parker and Sequoia.

In addition to domestic violence charges, Bryan faced DUI arrests twice in 2024 and, in 2023, was charged with fourth-degree felony assault, third-degree robbery, and misdemeanor harassment.
