Gary Coleman Hit Photographer with His Truck After Arguing


After arguing with a man in a bowling alley, police reported that Gary Coleman hit the guy with his truck, according to the Associated Press.

Lt. Bill Right said that Colton Rushton and the Diff’rent Strokes child star were arguing in the early hours Saturday over pictures Rushton took of Coleman inside the bowling alley. Apparently they continued arguing as they went outside and Coleman hit him as he was backing up out of the parking space. It’s unclear whether or not Coleman hit the guy on prupose

Payson police Lt. Bill Wright said Colt Rushton and Coleman got into an argument in the early morning hours Saturday over pictures Rushton had taken of Coleman inside the bowling alley. He said the argument continued outside, and that Coleman hit Rushton and a car as he was backing out of a parking space. It’s unclear whether or not Coleman intentionally hit him, but neither of them was cited. Wright told Deseret News:

“We’re currently trying to sort through those issues. We’ve been able to establish there was an argument between the two, due to pictures Rushton wanted to take. He took some of Gary Coleman, and (Coleman) wasn’t happy about it.”

The photographer was brought to a hospital and released after being treated for minor injuries.

It’s not the first time that a photographer was hit by a car because some don’t seem to worry about running after celebrities even in the dark, but it’s also not the first time Gary has been in a heated argument. It’ll be interesting to see if they find out that Gary hit the guy on purpose though. Stay tuned.
