Former child star Gary Coleman pleaded “no contest”  in court this week in connection with an altercation that went down at a bowling alley a couple of months ago.

The judge ordered Coleman to pay a $100 fine Dec. 2.

Back in September, the “Diff’rent Strokes” star was at the bowling and a fan tried to take a picture of him. One of Coleman’s entourage members told him he could only take a picture, if he paid Coleman $20.

The fan didn’t pay the money and snapped the photo anyway. He claims Coleman and someone in his entourage then attacked him. Then he said Coleman hit him with his truck.

So, Gary hit someone with a truck, and he only gets a $100 fine.  That sounds like a minor slap on the wrist to me.

Former Diff’rent Strokes star Gary “what choo talkin bout Willis” Coleman was recently charged with misdemeanor disordly conduct and reckless driving during an incident that took place at a Utah bowling alley.

According to the alleged victim, he noticed Coleman at the bowling and tried to take a picture of him. One of Coleman’s entourage members told him he could only take a picture, if he paid Coleman $20.

The alleged victim refused to pay of course, but he later tried to snap a photo anyway. He claims Coleman and someone in his entourage became upset and they both attacked him. Then he said Coleman hit him with his truck.

Wow! Gary Coleman is tougher than I thought. He packs a powerful punch. If I was the victim, I think I would keep quiet on this one. I would never admit to the public that  a 3- foot-tall Gary Coleman beat me up.
