"Alex P. Keaton" Would Not Approve

Probably been a long time since you heard or thought about "Family Ties" - the classic family show starring Michael J. Fox. Me too.

Well, Brian Bonsall (25) who played little Andy Keaton for three seasons until the show was cancelled, was arrested Wednesday and remains in the Boulder County jail charged with second-degree assault and false imprisonment of his girlfriend.

Bonsall allegedly poured an alcoholic drink on his girlfriends face while she slept, put her in a choke hold and threw her onto a bed when she tried to leave. He told investigators she cut his arm with a steak knife so he pushed her down in self- defense. The girlfriend was initially taken into custody but later released.

Bonsall has a history of arrests. In 2001, he was convicted of drunken driving and his license was suspended. In 2004, he was a arrested in Boulder on suspicion of drunken driving. -- There have also been rumors of an addiction to crack.
