Over the weekend, former child star Brian Bonsall was taken into custody in Colorado for getting involved in a bar brawl. If his name isn't all that familiar, maybe mentioning Family Ties will ring a bell. Known as the kid who played little Andy Keaton on the show, this actor later became semi-famous for playing Worf's son on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Anyway, Colorado Daily reports that the 28-year-old is currently facing third-degree assault charges for hitting his friend in the face with a bar stool. It's not just that, he's actually been wanted by the cops for years. Brian Bonsall has already skipped a court hearing in July 2008, further damaging his case.
