Taran Noah Smith, best known as “Mark Taylor” on the hit TV show Home Improvement was arrested early Wednesday morning on suspicion of drug possession and driving under the influence (DUI).
The 27-year-old actor was arrested in LA Count at approximately 1:00AM when an officer spotted his 1998 silver Honda Accord parked on an angle in front of a fire hydrant, prompting the officer to investigate the situation.
Smith is said to have been smoking hash, a type of marijuana which the police officer could smell inside the car at the time of the arrest.
After the officer smelled a “strong odor” from inside the vehicle he placed Tran Noah Smith under arrest on a felony charge.
Smith’s reps have not responded to the situation at this time but parking on an angle in front of a fire hydrant at 1:00am while smoking marijuana probably wasn’t the best idea Taran has ever had.
This isn’t the first strange occurrence in the life of the young actor, when divorcing his much older wife she told him that she preferred women over men and as Taran said at the time:
“She began to bring girls home. But if they paid more attention to me than to her, she’d get jealous. Finally, we agreed to have an open marriage. But when I began seeing another girl, Heidi got so mad she broke every dish in the house.?”
His wife then tried to transfer control of their shared company Playfood to her own accounts which led to a court battle over their shared assets.
Perhaps Taran Noah Smith and Dustin Diamond (Screech on Saved by the Bell) should ban together and help straighten out each others lives, they both seem to have a shared trajectory after they left their shows as young actors with no further job in sight.
