Bad Andy

Brian Bonsall, aka Andy Keaton in "Family Ties," pleaded guilty to third-degree assault involving his girlfriend, getting two years' probation and three other charges dismissed under the plea agreement.

He was arrested in March after his girlfriend told police he poured an alcoholic drink on her face while she slept, put her in a choke hold and threw her onto a bed when she tried to leave. He claims it was in self-defense after she cut his arm and face with a steak knife. She denied the claim and wasn't charged in the case. If you are still wondering how such a sweet young former child actor ended up in such a predicament, and furthermore how the story ends, here's the best sentence of the whole story.

Bonsall, who is working in construction and playing in a band, has gotten back together with his girlfriend and they are in couples counseling.

I always knew this kid would be trouble. Just look at how he handles his iced creams.
