Gary Coleman formerly charged
Posted by Media Outrage on September 18, 2008
Gary Coleman has been formerly charged with wreckless driving and disorderly conduct for this altercation a few weeks ago in Utah.
Via People:
“Mr. Coleman was notified today of the charges through his attorney,” said Lt. Bill Wright of the Payson, Utah, Police Department. “(Coleman) never spoke to us about what happened, but we gathered evidence after speaking to witnesses and the other party involved.”
Both charges are misdemeanors.
Coleman, 40, was backing out of a bowling alley around midnight on Sept. 6 when his truck hit Colt Rushton, 24, as well as another car. Rushton was taken to a local hospital and treated for minor injuries.
Witnesses said Coleman became irritated after Rushton photographed him. The two argued in the bowling alley and then moved outside, Lt. Wright said.
Rushton’s attorney, Dustin Lance, said in a statement: “This wasn’t a situation of paparazzi or stalker-razzi, this was a fan snapping two photographs with a cell phone.”
Rushton has since filed a lawsuit against Coleman, seeking damages for medical bills, pain and suffering, and punitive damages.
Mediaoutrage- It kind of sounds like someone trying to get paid.

I saw Gary Coleman smoking weed back in 1983 on the set of Diffrent Strokes. I was visiting a tour and he asked me if i wanted to hit the blunt…I said no because i was only 6 but he was a cool Ma Fucka back then…..

@ DT: Im glad Todd Bridges didnt see Gary offering you no weed, He would have whooped Gary’s ass. Because if yall would have smoked up all the Sour Deezle, what would have he had to sprinkle his crack in other than them Cools they use to smoke back then. And I guess Kimberly was somewhere tying off a vein. They needed a damn rehab center on the set of Diffrent Strokes.
