Gary Coleman backs into man outside Payson bowling alley
Gary Coleman, the former child star of the hit TV series "Diff'rent Strokes," was involved in an auto-pedestrian accident in Payson early Saturday, said Payson Police Lt. Bill Wright.
Coleman, 40, was backing out of a Payson bowling alley around midnight Friday when his truck hit another car and a pedestrian identified as Colt Reston, 24, Wright said.
Witnesses said Coleman became irritated after Reston photographed him. The two argued in the bowling alley and then moved outside, Wright said.
Reston was taken to a local hospital where he was treated for minor injuries.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the incident because neither Coleman nor Reston were cooperative at the scene, Wright said. Police didn't issue citations to either man.
Wright said there are "indications" that alcohol was a factor in the incident.
Coleman, who lives in Santaquin, most recently made headlines when he and his 22-year-old wife of less than a year, Shannon Price, agreed to appear on TV's "Divorce Court" on May 1 and 2. The couple wed last August after meeting on the set of the 2006 comedy "Church Ball." Soon after, the marriage dissolved and both spoke publicly about "intimacy issues" in their relationship.

So basically he yelled at a dude for taking his picture, then hit him (and another car) with his car. Its stories like this that make me love ontd.
-Edit- TMZ says this:
Coleman's bodyguard told KABC that 24-year-old Colt Rushton approached Gary and his wife at a Payson, Utah 10-pin and asked to snap a cellphone photo of the "Different Strokes" star. After Gary said no, Rushton continued to harass Gary -- and was eventually hit by Gary's truck after darting behind it while Coleman was leaving.
Rushton's more violent side of the story goes like this: He says Gary's wife snatched his cell phone from him, and Coleman threw several punches at him before getting behind the wheel. Colt said he was trying to get his cell phone back when Gary threw his truck into gear and backed into him, knocking him to the ground.

Poor little dude has never gotten laid. Cut him some slack.
And thank you.
How far must Coleman have to have his seat forward when he's driving :|
Also, LOLOL AT THE ENORMOUS DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO STORIES.
