Jonathan Taylor Thomas, known for playing Randy Taylor on the 1990s sitcom “Home Improvement,” is reported to have been arrested in Westlake Village, California, early Monday. Multiple outlets state he was involved in a traffic stop and that he was detained for resisting or obstructing an officer. The New York Post reports he is charged with obstructing or resisting an executive officer.
The accounts describe Thomas as a passenger in the vehicle that police stop, rather than the driver. The New York Post adds that during the stop, Thomas gets out of the car and refuses to comply with an officer’s instructions, while TMZ is cited in that report. The Washington Times similarly says he was a passenger during the stop and that the arrest occurs in Westlake Village.
The outlets focus on his role in the incident and the location, while providing limited additional details about the underlying cause of the stop or the specific circumstances leading to the resistance allegation.
