Bonsall, now 25, was arrested Wednesday after his girlfriend reportedly 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. Both Bonsall and his girlfriend were arrested at the scene, however, she was later released.

44. Another child star down the tubes. Very few are ever successful in life because the loose their childhood and are never taught how to be a person by their parents. Look at some of the others who have crashed and burned.
