Gary Coleman Struck a Pedestrian

Former child star, Gary Coleman, reportedly got into an argument at a bowling alley in Utah this weekend which ended with him hitting a pedestrian with his car.

Apparently, Coleman became agitated when the man photographed him without permission and the two argued inside the bowling alley. The argument carried outside and Coleman struck the man and his car while backing out. Police were called to the scene, but claim both parties were uncooperative and no citations were issued.

The pedestrian was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries. An investigation is ongoing.

Coleman is being sued by the alleged victim, who claims he was assaulted by both Coleman and his bodyguard (or wife) before being hit with the car. Coleman was charged with reckless driving and disorderly conduct.

His version of events has Coleman's bodyguard telling him not to take pictures inside the bowling alley. When the victim saw Coleman in his car, he claimed to be humorously needling the actor when he snapped a last shot. He was then attacked.

He says he told them he would erase the pictures if they would just return his phone. They did not.

Coleman has made no statements regarding this.
