Gary Coleman, the 41-year-old actor who achieved fame for his role in Diff'rent Strokes, has been arrested on domestic assault charges. Although additional details have not been released at this time, it has been reported by TMZ that Gary Coleman is being held on $1,725.00 bail.
This isn't Gary Coleman's first arrest. In 1998, Coleman was arrested after punching a woman who had ridiculed him after asking for an autograph.
In 2007, he was cited for misdemeanor disorderly conduct after he was witnessed having what was termed a "heated discussion" with his wife Shannon Price whom he married earlier that same year.
In 2009, both Gary Coleman and his wife were cited for disorderly conduct after being involved in a domestic dispute. Coleman's wife was also arrested in the incident on suspicion of domestic violence.
Gary Coleman has also been involved in several civil suits and has threatened to sue the producers of the Broadway musical Avenue Q for using his name and likeness in their production. Avenue Q appeared at the Colonial Theatre in Boston, MA in November 2009 and continues to be performed in spite of Coleman's threats.
Gary Coleman was in the headlines earlier this month after being hospitalized on Wednesday, January 6, 2010. As Boston.com reported, 'the 41-year-old actor was taken by ambulance to a hospital shortly after 8 a.m. Wednesday after he began feeling "fuzzy" and vomited while resting at a hotel.'
Gary Coleman was arrested on the misdemeanor charge today, January 24, 2010, in Santaquin, Utah. The alleged victim's name has not been revealed. More details will be reported as they surface.
